Unless you have specific provenance or a photo of a fan holding one of these in the stands, I don't believe you can conclude these are sports-related. They look like City souvenir pennants, perhaps distributed at a commencement, parade or celebration of some sort.

That said, the gothic font and colors of the Detroit pennant are a better match to the Tigers than the New York Pennant is to the Giants. The Giants didn't wear black/orange until 1933, and that particular "NY" logo does not match any that the Giants ever used.

Since neither pennant has the Team Name, I don't think you can comfortably attribute either one to baseball. Still an attractive piece.
