- Description
- Pennants have been prominently featured in the history of American professional sports. Inscribed with logos, championship seasons, or other notable feats, teams often flew pennants atop their stadiums to display their success. Sports fans have also used pennants to show their allegiance and loyalty to a particular team.
- This pennant (c. 1974) is for the Portland Trail Blazers franchise in the National Basketball Association. The logo displayed on the pennant, with slight variations, has been used by the Blazers since their inaugural 1970-71 NBA season.
