• 3+ Ways to Style this Patriotic Pennant Banner

The design of pennant banners dates back to Europe and the Middle Ages. During battles, each knight would carry a pennant flag on their lance. Early designs of pennant flags consisted of a motto, crest, or some heraldic or ornamental designs. Pennant flags represented a particular knight and his men, a sign of rank, a warning to the enemy, or used in ceremonies. Pennant flags made it easier to differentiate between ships. Pennant flags are also used for sports teams or universities with the team name, motto, or mascot. Regardless of how their designs have evolved throughout history, they have always been a symbol of who you are or what you love to celebrate! Display your patriotism with this classic Patriotic Pennant Banner, comprised of denim, red and white stripes, and stars.
