Hey, pennant guys

So, where's the SF Giants pennant?? I always assumed it was the one hanging behind the speaker.

Why would a banquet hosted by SF Giants personnel include two Dodger pennants--and no Giant pennant?

Perhaps "Donny" wasn't into the black/orange?

There are 8 pennants fully pictured, a tiny bit of the Colt 45s, and I’m guessing that the Giants is next to that out of sight. Look how they are arranged. Assuming symmetry, there is one more pennant to the right of the Colts and that would be the Giants.

If anyone is interested in selling their pennant collection, Super Break Sports (whoever that is) is buying.

Hi all….I’m an occasional pennant collector (and not a Tigers fan) but I recently saw this one online so I grabbed it. I like the vintage stuff, no mater what team. Thought you guys may enjoy seeing it.

Nice one. Team picture pennants don’t get the love they deserve. They took extra care to make. I wish I had another wall to dedicate to these.

They are pretty cool and unique.

The “sash” is a nice embellishment, as well.

Agreed. It’s definitely a different kind of pennant.

Domer has a nice interview with a Trench employee who explained how it was a real pain in the butt to assemble the picture pennants. They certainly do require extra care. Along with the mystery of the few teams that don’t have stadium pennants … teams that never had team pic pennants. Colt 45s/Astros and Cubs come to mind. A few others have them for 1-2 years (Senators, Giants?), others run the whole decade. Phillies have at least 13 different ones from 1960-69.

It's a nice Tigers pennant. I've been picking up team photo pennants too. I think they're really underrated and a great snapshot in time.

The Tigers have the best pennants, period. I’ve seen three different colors of 1968 Tigers pic pennants, I think one even states that it is a spring training roster.

Trench obviously mastered the team picture pennant. ASCO has some nice ones, too. The unknown (what I think is) NYC company just stapled the picture right on. The 1963 Mets pennant is an example and lots of Yankees.
