Not sure which Rob but yes...I did experiment with cleaning/bleaching 60s polychromatic pennants a few years back. Generally, white ones cleaned up nicely and the graphics held up fine...except for the color red. Red bleeds pretty badly but generally stops after the outer layer sloughs off and if you keep rinsing with water, all the bleeding washes away with no bleeding stains left behind. Sometimes, but not always, the red graphics have a slightly faded look after but it's more uniform than that Reds pennant which leads me to believe it was probably made that way with some aging/fading factored in as well.
