🕑 Added 2024-02-18 11:00:08 +0000 UTC A vintage pennant from a well-known local New Orleans high school.Felt pennants became popular in the early 1900s as attending college and demonstrating school pride grew widespread, along with the rise in popularity of football.
Early pennants were hand made, and often have really cool lettering. You most often see antique pennants from Ivy League schools, since those were the predominant places to receive higher education at that time.
Although shaped like a flag and typically adhered to a wooden dowel, they were intended for display purposes and less for active flag-waving. This changed in the 1940s and 1950s as they were mass produced and marketed towards children and wider audiences at sports games.
Pennants were also used by civil rights groups, and women’s rights movements. One of the most notable is the “Votes For Women!” pennants from the 1920s. 🚩
