I like the six little pink shacks out front!

So…..is this a known pennant or what?

Never seen a 1969 version like that. I wonder if the MLB logo was added to old stock to make them salable.

Can't think of a better explanation. It must've sat dormant for over a decade before someone decided to slap on that MLB logo. Whatever the explanation, that one wins the ugly award for January.

Oh, I’m sure if we tried, we could find uglier.

Actually, if it wasn't for all the moth holes, I think it looks kind of cool.

I have one of these Cleveland Pennants but I think it's got to be on the short list for the ugliest pennant.

Here's another Keezer "gem" that might qualify for the infamous short list. Not their best mascot, IMHO. Zoom in on it, to see his hands alone might be the most annoying thing ever depicted on a pennant. And his ears are not much better. Not Keezer's finest moment...

Only thing is it looks like it's got synthetic piping on it. This woven material generally started in mid 50's up thru late 60's. I wonder if it was just a bunch of material laying around that "they" decided to use. It doesn't look like the MLB was added later. Appears to be same screen. Very strange.

It’s a great looking design and I always figured it was late 50s, early 60s. That Yankee Stadium graphic does date back to 1957 WS pennants. Hard to find not faded. This is the first I’ve seen with the ‘69 trademark, Trenches with that stamp usually just show the official team logo.
