Hey, pennant guys

[thetahat]

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.

I saw this .... it looks odd to me, like a knock off from the 70s. The tassels and pennant itself look stiff and creased, and the design is sloppy. BUT ... it could be a copy of an existing, older pennant so maybe such a Cardinals pennant from the sane era does exist!

*the Browns “infield” pennant does not reference stadium, but Tigers does.
