But they missed a flag.
Did you know that the Cubs have an official team flag? Apparently the team forgot.
This page is from my 1947 official program. The Cubs flag has red stars for each NL pennant and blue stars for each World Series victory.
For years the Cubs flew this flag off of each of the foul poles. They were removed when the team started retiring numbers and flew flags for those players instead. That means its been at least 35 years since the offical Cubs flag flew over Wrigley Field.
While the team may have forgotten about it, I haven't.
Updated, with another red and blue star, the official Cubs flag!
That is a really cool looking flag. Wonder if anyone at the Cubs knows about it?
ReplyDeleteCool post, and liking your updated flag.

ReplyDelete3/16 isn't the greatest ratio. Let's fix that over these next couple of years!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know they had a team flag... can't help but notice there's more room for red stars!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, thanks. I had tried Googling Cubs flag - you'd have to scroll way down to find this one.
