WHAT IS A HORMEL PENNANT?
Step into the vibrant collecting craze of the 1950s! Back then, everything from baseball cards to comic books captivated enthusiasts. In 1953, the ingenious Hormel Company spotted this trend and launched an unforgettable promotion. They ingeniously attached over 5 million vibrant 4 x 9 inch wool felt pennants, each proudly representing one of 95 different universities, directly to their soup cans with… wait for it… rubber bands! Seriously! 
Once famously advertised in comic books and proudly displayed in grocery stores, these unique collectibles are incredibly scarce today. At Americana Memories, we've rescued and attractively framed these extraordinary pieces, transforming them into stunning works of art for your enjoyment. Whether you're rekindling cherished memories of your time in South Dakota, celebrating recent graduations and acceptances, or simply yearning to brag about your beloved school, this Hormel Pennant is your ultimate declaration of allegiance!
