Quick answer

Hang your Fightin Phils wool pennant on a wall using push pins through the grommets or a lightweight rod, and avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Why wool needs special handling

Wool pennants have a vintage, durable feel but they can crease easily if folded or stored wrong. The natural fibers also absorb moisture, so a damp wall or humid room can cause sagging or mildew. Choosing the right hanging method keeps the pennant looking crisp.

How to display your wool pennant

  1. Choose a dry, shaded spot: Pick a wall away from direct sunlight and moisture sources like windows or bathrooms. Sunlight will fade the team colors over time, and dampness can warp the wool. Check the wall for any damp spots before hanging.
  2. Unfold and flatten the pennant: Lay the pennant flat on a clean surface for an hour before hanging. If there are fold lines, lightly steam them with a garment steamer held 6 inches away—do not use an iron directly on wool. Never fold the pennant for storage; roll it instead.
  3. Hang using push pins or a rod: Use two small push pins through the grommets at the top corners. For a more polished look, slide a thin wooden dowel or curtain rod through the sleeve (if available) and mount it with brackets. Avoid adhesive hooks on painted walls—they can peel the paint. Test the pins on a hidden spot first to make sure they won't leave a hole.
  4. Secure the bottom edge (optional): If the pennant curls at the bottom, add a small pin or a piece of double-sided tape on the back of the bottom corners. This keeps it flat without damaging the front. Use tape designed for delicate surfaces to avoid residue.
