Hey, pennant guys

On the topic of "Banners & where are they now"......

This banner hung in the Tigers hallway from the locker room to the field during the 84-championship season. There were rumors that the banner survived and was discovered when Tiger stadium was torn down but, I've never seen evidence of it.

That looks more like a giant sticker…kinda like the thing in tatters below it.

This will have to do for now, next to the hot water heater. Probably better in a frame.

In the 1960s the Dodgers sold a series of banners branded as "war towels." These were sold at the stadium and available for purchase via the team's mail-order catalog for $1 each.

I always thought these banners were screen printed. They were not. Most likely they were manufactured by a company called Superior Hand Blocked Textile Co. As their name suggests, they printed these banners on 100% woven cotton twill using the hand block printing method. Hand block printing involves carving a design onto a block and stamping it onto the fabric.

Superior made others similar novelty items for the Dodgers; and, most likely, other teams. I believe they also manufactured a popular item known as the "crying towel" which featured crying mascots representing all of the AL and NL teams.

Would love to find the "War Cry Towel". Just another item to add to the "They could never make it today" list.

I don’t believe there’s a Giants crying towel. Giants fans don’t cry.
