It's hard to say with the AFLs. There are plenty of examples of single color pennants that can easily be attributed to the earliest days of the AFL. The Los Angeles Chargers have several and only existed for 1960. The Dallas Texans do as well (as you well know given recent events ). Also, the New York Titans.

And the AFL logo is not really a good indicator of age either, as it appears to have been used so intermittently. There are early examples of Texans and Titans with it, so we know it began somewhere between 1960-62, but then many other examples from later in the decade that do not have it.

I’m mainly thinking of the Trench pennants, it seems that when they started using NFL/AFL logos they didn’t stop. The later ones we see without are probably other makers like Ad Flag.

New additions ... it seems we have been collecting mini pennants all along. (These are six feet long.)

Nice, Greg. I saw that Astros pennant one time about three years ago. Pretty cool. You might need to go to a cubicle system if you are going to display those.

That’s interesting ... I have a vague memory of the early days of eBay, bidding on a huge orange Mets pennant. Can’t say I’ve ever seen another and Google searches all come up empty. Pretty obvious that they were made by ASCO - very well made - what’s interesting is that these are all identical versions of their 1969 pennants, enlarged to scale except for their fat MLB trademark which is the same exact size as on the 30” pennants.

Have no idea how/where I’m going to display these.

I was the underbidder on the Astros. I think it sold for about $250. I thought it was really cool, but I could not think of a place to hang it.

Why not on the floor of your rec room? Put them under a clear plastic sheet, and just think of it as the world's biggest pennant cover.

More realistically, maybe the ceiling is the place? I know "Baseball Rob" might agree!

Realistically I’ll keep them on the pool table for a few days then put them in a tub to be discovered by whomever breaks into my house to find my deceased decaying body in or around 2055. Or I might just put them in the hallway to the basement. These are pretty wild, though ... the sheer size of them would suggest that they are likely to survive. I wonder if they were made for sake to the general public or fir other specific purposes. I wonder if somewhere there is a white Pilots ... that would be amazing.

I PM'ed Greg that years ago (I'd say 20) I saw a big Giants pennant on ebay. I didn't get it. Greg said he'd like to see it and I was gonna send this pic just to him, due to the extremely poor quality. Then I thought "what the hell".....we "pennant guys" need to share. Also, here's a pic I've posted before of a giant Giants pennant at some 1060's Giants function. This pennant may be similar to Greg's finds.

Rob ... very cool, thanks. That’s definitely the ASCO design at the top, the Giants and Twins are the two teams for which they used only one color print. (Weird that I know this but remember I have a strange obsession with this series.) It looks like I can see the MLB trademark but it is unclear. The dimensions are different ... the ones I have are 30” wide by 72” long. The spine is three inches wide and I don’t see any grommets in the pic. In the pic below I can see it hung by grommets but this looks very different in every other way including shape. Both are very nice.
