Rare vintage c. 1920's Yale Bulldogs felt pennant. Yale's football program is one of the oldest in the world (i.e. North America), having begun competing in the sport in 1872. The Bulldogs have a legacy that includes 27 national championships, two of the first three Heisman Trophy winners (Larry Kelley in 1936 and Clint Frank in 1937), 100 consensus All-Americans, 28 College Football Hall of Fame inductees, including the "Father of American Football" Walter Camp, the first professional football player Pudge Heffelfinger, and coaching giants Amos Alonzo Stagg, Howard Jones, Tad Jones and Carmen Cozza. With 885 wins, Yale ranks third in wins in college football history, trailing the University of Michigan, and the University of Notre Dame. The pennant remains in remarkably nice condition given its century plus year old age.
