I have two pennants, one from the 70's my dad gave me and one I bought sometime in the 80's.
They have been languishing in the closet and been getting a bit musty.
I have plastic sleeves for them but I want something better.
I'd like to mount them properly and hang them in my office.
Anyone have a good example of how to display them nicely?

First I give them a little wine to loosen them up and lower their inhibitions...
I dont know really. Mine are languishing on a shelf

"Languish" is the strangest word. It is an active-voice verb which denotes a very passive state.
Back to the question: why not velcro the pennants to colored rectangular felt backgrounds and then put the rectangles into frames as if they were pictures? The pennants would look nice and be protected.

I actually keep mine in the plastic top loaders. To display them I hang them point down (slightly or whatever angle fits the space). I then use a small nail on the top and bottom and let the weight of the top loader hold it into place. Doing it that way will not damage the pennant and if I want to get it signed (or add signatures) it is easy to do.
fyi - if you ever get one signed use a paint pen and not a sharpie. Over time the sharpie will fade into the fabric like it was never signed.

No one wants to see your pennant, Dirtbag.
WHAT next???
"I'd wreck that pennant"?
