If they are that "raised velvet" type, it's definitely a reproduction.
If the graphics are embroidered/stitched on, it could be an early/authentic example. But the construction looks far more recent than the Embroidered Teens pennants you typically see.
If the graphics are painted/screened on, it could go either way. But I would still lean towards reproduction. There should be some puckering/cracking/chipping to the painted graphics on a pennant of that vintage. Can you post an extreme close-up shot of the Seals and the Lettering? That (and a pic of the reverse side) would tell a lot.
Hope this is helpful.

Ebbets Field Flannel made repros of minor league pennants 15 or more years ago. They were really well done and people can mistake them for being authentic pennants. That said, I don't know if this one was a pennant they produced, although they do a ton of PLC stuff.
