1946 Red Sox
1948 Athletics
1949 Phillies Blue Jay
1950 Phillies
Pirates
Cardinals
Braves

I don’t think every team had one. The Pirates version is pictured here. It seems to be made by the same company who did the “sliding runner” pennants from the same era. Red Sox and Phillies use the same slider graphic. They share similar stitching, lack of tassels, same logos, one color print, and slightly smaller size. I guess it is safe to say there aren’t Trench? In which case ... who?
Here's another obscure one to add to that list...

Yes! I’ve seen that. Here again, I don’t think every team had these, but at least one non-MLB team did!

I have also been experimenting with holders for my oversized pennants. I bought a roll of 20 gauge clear vinyl from an online fabric store, about $30 including shipping. Cut it into sheets, it will make six holders. Metal yardstick and utility knife for straight cutting, these pennants all have their unique dimensions and angles so best to custom cut them. Clear tape on edges, bottom edge is double taped just to be sure pennant doesn’t stick. I think it works. Much better than what I had on the wall.

I thought about making a rigid holder with plexiglass, it would probably cost $30 for one, if you buy at Home Depot they will do the cuts for you. Then again I think you need to separate the edges so the pennant will fit.

I like it, Greg....even though I have no oversized pennants I’m unclear on the double tape at the bottom, though. Is the first layer “unsticky” side up, on the inside of the vinyl?

You have been quite busy during the pandemic!

Gotta rescue this thread from the bottom of the page!

Here are two pennants from the early 50s with a similar design. Anyone know of any other teams that share it?

Observe they are both playing the same infield shift!

I am pretty convinced that those are the only two teams who used that format. I love those two pennants, and have searched endlessly for similar examples of other teams. Since another team still hasn't turned up 30 years later, I have to believe that none exist.

So why just the Browns and Tigers? Seems so random, and quite odd. Just another example of countless mysteries in the world of pennant collecting.

This looks like it might be...

Edit: Upon closer review...I guess not. No stadium reference and only three on defense. Tassels spine aren't right either. I saw the St. Louis font and thought it was a match.

Love that pennant! The HD rigid option seems like a bargain considering the value of the pennant.

I’m not sure if any of you will find this interesting like I do, but here is an ASCO pennant from 1969 - or specifically, with the 1969 trademark. It’s cloth so I do believe it is actually from ‘69. The Uncle Sam stadium graphic is a carbon copy of the same graphic from the tasseled Trench stadium pennants of the 50s/60s. By this time both companies were using trademarks although I guess their artwork was not legally secure?

I’m still trying to complete this ASCO set in cloth and I’m intrigued by the speciality pennants ... this one, the Cub Power Cubs pennant, etc. ... maybe it’s the lockdown boredom, I dunno ....
