Designed to capture the look and feel of early team pennants, this piece brings authentic character and nostalgia into any space. Whether displayed in a study, office, or game room, it serves as a subtle tribute to the era when independent teams helped build the foundation of modern football. A timeless addition for those who appreciate local history, early football heritage, and a refined nod to Rock Island’s pioneering role in the sport.
