Chris...the guys here have seen these pics before, but I appreciate your pennant enthusiasm!

What is a "Don"? Wasn't Bill Russell a "Don"?

You saw the The Godfather didn't you? Sort of like that only Spanish.

I have been trying to obtain this particular Cubs pennant for some time with no luck. It seldom comes on the market. It’s obviously peculiar due to the artist using Ebbets Field in place of Wrigley. The Dodger pennants using this graphic are much more plentiful and based on the dated ones, I would assume they would date from late 40s to mid 50s. Anyone have any thoughts or other information on these?

Very nice Mike. That is a tough one, especially not faded or torn. Right on with dates.

Good luck, Mike. That particular color you show is striking.

Interesting. The style of the Cubs pennant does not look like Trench, which is where the Ebbets graphic originated (I think). Very cool though.

Speaking of Super Bowl pennants, anyone know what’s going on here, besides the obvious? Is this the only SB3 pennant that isn’t dedicated to a team?

What’s written after the “L” (in your tiny little picture)?

LOL...It's '69. The year in which Super Bowl III was played. As for what's going on...Super Bowl III was the first one in which the NFL used the name Super Bowl. The only other Super Bowl III pennants I can think of are the individual Colts and Jets pennants. Unlike "Super Bowl" II and most Super Bowls from IV on, there's no pennant featuring both teams for Super Bowl III...unless it's yet to be discovered. Maybe they all designated the 17 point favorite Colts the champs and had to be destroyed.

There are other generic Super Bowl pennants like the ones Greg shared, but they aren't dated so hard to pin down which game they're from.

Yeah I gotta figure out how to get bigger pics with my phone. It denies “actual size” and gives me three other options, all of which are tiny....
