Great picture. It seems as if the white is cloth and the orange and the black are felt. Are there any counter-examples?

Amazing photo but what were they thinking with that black hat with the feather on the right side of the photo.

Not sure but it’s awesome and if one still exists it might fetch four figures …

The Giants had a similar hat, with a more understated feather. They called it the "porky pennant hat." They also had a similar apron which I like more, due to the semi-swearing.

Welcome to the world of pennants, Mike.

I have a 49ers hat that is very similar to the Houston Colts. It's one of those things that is kind of cool, but not the easiest to display.

I could not resist, for the price of about $22, this early HOF pennant with the nice Annin label. The quality is very nice. Relatively heavy felt. Good construction. Wish they made more baseball pennants.

Uh oh Marc...Careful there. You're branching out. You'll be a Chicago Cardinals Super Collector before you know it.

That's from the short lived Huggy Bear Collection.

Fantastic Repco write up, Kyle! As usual, your research is unparalleled.

We'll get back to pennants, but here's Prescott Sullivan's "by-line pic" from a 1962 SF Examiner. He's sporting the Porky Pennant Hat ($1.50 in the 1962 merchandise list).
