Hank, I think the Packers is mid-late 50s and the Texans is 1961 or 62. There’s a white spine and red spine version. I’m not a football pennant expert but I think there might be a red felt version of this with the AFL trademark? Not positive …

Yes there is. But the graphics are not multi-colored on that rare red felt version.

Interesting … the only other obvious Trench of which I knew was the red Cotton Bowl version (no AFL mark). Must be incredibly rare.

Not really felt...but 1960s "felt".

Yeah "felt" was a bit of a stretch. Material looks very similar to the bizarre "1938" Cubs pennant we discussed a page back or so.
