This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 1/22/2011
This 29.5" long pennant is of the WFL's Philadelphia Bell*. It is bright & clean with some minor fading of color. It is in near mint condition.
*The Philadelphia Bell was a franchise in the World Football League, which operated in 1974 and a portion of a season in 1975. The Bell played their home games at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. The team logo was a representation of the Liberty Bell. At first the team seemed to be one of the WFL's most successful. However, it soon became known that their relatively large crowds were mostly the result of the distribution of free tickets, on a scale almost unprecedented in professional sports. Although the Bell continued to operate until the league folded, they never seemed to regain much credibility afterward with either the media or fans.
