I have the same pennant but the field is red. I cannot find a description of that at all. Any info would be appreciated.

Is that one really missing from Egner's Guide? Hard to believe, as it's not that rare.
Anyway, the gray body of that pennant was once blue. You can count on it... that pennant was never originally made in gray (guaranteed). This type of blue fabric (very prevalent among 1950s-60s Dodgers Pennants) was very prone to fading, and it's actually pretty rare to find an example that's retained all of its original blue color.
Nice pennant.
