Hoping to have some time over the long weekend to experiment some more.
I use painters tape to tape off the colored border. Spray with straight bleach from a spray bottle. The pennant will be white in a matter of minutes. Then spray copiously with straight water. The one with the batter and ball also looked like hell when I got it.

Wow...Great results. No change to the silk screening at all? Did you just let it air dry after?

No change at all to the screening. Blot it between towels and then air dry. I've done quite a few with no disasters.

Rob,
The results on the 61 All Star are outstanding. You are more daring than I.

I have used the bleach method many times and never had a disaster. I also do it for a friend who is scared to do it himself.

Great job! I wonder if this would work on my 1976 American League Champions Pennant. I am a bit afraid of ruining it.

I was thinking that one would be a prime candidate! The 1961 All Star is a $200-300 pennant and i did it on that one. Go for it!

Default Chargers Football Pennant?
Football guys,

Have you seen this pennant and is it LA/SD Chargers? I cannot find anything resembling it in terms of design/era...

I wouldn't swear that that's the pro football Chargers.....but I could certainly be wrong!

I also doubt that it's the pro football Chargers. The logo (while pretty cool) is not one that's ever been associated with the team and the colors are off. Also, if it was ever sold at stadiums, other examples would likely have surfaced.

Very nifty vintage pennant though!

As Mark pointed out...Wrong logo, wrong colors for the AFL/NFL Chargers.

In one of my many pennant google searches, I came across the site of a guy who owns pretty much every vintage LA/San Diego Chargers pennant. There are none that resemble this one.

Don't think it's college football either. None of the Chargers teams out there match those colors.

Might not be football at all.

Completely agree....

And the final strike against this pennant representing LA/San Diego is its 3/4 size. Nearly all 3/4 size football pennants pre-date the AFL. They simply do not exist, with the lone exception being a series from the mid-late 1960s (all of which feature the NFL Shield Logo).

But alas....

Wow, thank you everyone. I agree, it likely is not NFL. I also just received a response from Pete (Chargers pennant expert referenced) and he was very responsive and also did not think it was NFL/AFL. Side note - I referred him to this group for participation generally

The only thing I found based on colors and name was perhaps it was for Georgia Highlands College (http://ghcchargers.com/wp-content/up...n3XYAEKufu.jpg).

Regardless - always fun to find, research and commiserate with passionate experts!

Is it 5:00 yet???
