Was able to get down to the National last night but it was pretty dry as far as pennants �

Great looking pennant. I noticed that the MLB logo on the cloth version is red instead of white on the felt version. Is that consistent across the other cloth pennants from ASCO?

Interesting. This one here is felt and it has the same color MLB stamp. Now there are many versions in felt, some with �THE VET�, etc. and done are pressed (stiff) felt that would have been mid 70s. I guess they had different colors.

This is the photo that I have in my Pennant Catalog. Sorry for the small image size but I can't find the full size image at the moment.

Yeah that�s a �VET� pennant, mid 70s. These all share the ASCO designs, along with the ones with the circled M. (I think it�s an M?) Kyle knows a lot more about this and has written about it on his blog. I can only say, my first ever pennants purchased for me as a six year old in 1976 were Mets and Reds pennants with �VET� stamped on them. Bought at Veterans Stadium.

Going through my tubs I came across this guy, not a terribly pricey pennant but a beautiful design nonetheless. The logo screams 1960s. This one is likely from around 1967-68 as the tassels (tucked behind) are paper-like and not soft felt.

I know this Angel graphic has appeared on the LAA stadium pennant, but does he show up elsewhere before the name change to ‘California’?

Thanks Greg. I've updated my notes accordingly.

Incidentally, I'm still adding to my Pennant Catalog. It's now up 1,480 pennants
(including variations). If anyone's interested in the latest version, just let me know.
