Hey, pennant guys

In fact, there's never been a pennant bearing the name "Robins" to my knowledge. The 1916 NL champs pennant I previously reproduced on Pennant Factory ID'd the team as "Dodgers" (see: https://pennantfactory.weebly.com/bl...champs-pennant ). Moreover, the 1920 World's Series program identified the team as "Dodgers" despite the fact that Wilbert Robinson himself was prominently featured on the cover. Both items were made during the height of Robinson's popularity; yet, the name "Dodgers" was featured on them.

I only wish your theory got us closer to ID'ing the mystery maker behind these grommet pennants.

I also spent some time looking for HoF dedication photos from the 1939 grand opening, hoping to find a spectator or two waving a pennant--but came up with nothing.

Thanks Kyle. I concede that the Dodgers were commonly called the Dodgers in 1920. But we know for certain that the Braves were only called the Bees from 1936-1940.

With regards to the HoF pictures, I'm wondering if they'd be inside in the main hall or on a display. The use of grommets on pennants sold to fans seems an extra expense and complication that they wouldn't have needed. The grommets seems to be most useful if the pennants were being displayed hanging down in a display.
