Pennants

1951 Sugar Bowl: issued in New Orleans on January 1, 1952 for the triumph that completed Maryland first-ever unbeaten and untied season (and first National Championship), this full-size red felt banner presents beautifully with crack-free white appliqué, a white spine and red tassels.
1953 Orange Bowl: issued in Miami, Florida for the 20th annual installment, this full-size black felt pennant presents wonderfully with crack-free gold-colored appliqué and a gold-colored spine (with two tiny pinholes from previous display). While Maryland was felled by a 7-0 score against Oklahoma that day, the Terrapins were the National Champions as that status had been determined prior to the bowl games.

1975 Gator Bowl: issued in Jacksonville, Florida on December 29, 1975, this full-size red felt banner shows “like new” quality with a sturdy composition and 100% appliqué designs including a “Gators” mascot wearing a sweater with a Maryland “M” (Maryland blanked the Florida Gators, 13-0 that day).
