The first
pennants to commemorate a world
Championships appears around 1914. This
"Pre-Curse" Boston Red Sox World
Championship pennant dates to the teams
1912-1918 dynasty. There is no year
printed on these pennants. It is
recorded that the 1914 Boston Braves
produced the first championship team
pennant, so it is speculated that these
pennants are attributed to one, or all
of the 1915, 1916, 1918 championships.
The red felt Fenway Park, souvenir pennant displays the team
name, "Red Sox," alongside a circular
illustration featuring a crossed bats,
ball, and bases motif that reads
"Boston Red Sox Base Ball Club - Worlds
Champions."
Common flaws with pennants are missing ties, pin holes, frying,
creases, and "crackling" on the
printing. Sometimes people will trim
down a pennant to rid it of the frying
or other flaws like a flat tip (point)
Caused by being pinned up and ripped
off. Any of these flaws will degrade
the pennant significantly.
Doctored pennants A term used to describe a pennant that has been altered
to cover up a flaw, is a practice that
is frowned upon among the collecting
community, and could sell for less than
a pennant with the flaws it was meant
to cover up. In general full size
pennants measure 12"x30" and the early
oversize pennants roughly 14" x 34."
