Another neat RU PENNANT

[R1766U]

The other one sold for over $300. This one doesn't look as old, but is still neat. I love collecting RU stuff and spend plenty of time searching eBay...some of the stuff goes for big $$.

Rutgers Knights Pennant

That's pretty cool too. That logo looks very close to the cover of the 1963 Rutgers at Harvard game.

40s vintage? I didn't think we were known as the "Scarlet Knights" until the mid 50s.

"In the early 1950's, in the hope of spurring both the all-around good athletic promise and RU fighting spirit, a campus-wide selection process changed the mascot to that of a Knight.

By 1955 , the Scarlet Knight had become the new Rutgers mascot. The Scarlet-garbed knight, riding a spirited white charger, came to represent a new era - the rejuvenation of first class football "On the Banks."
