Cleveland Browns Vintage 1999 NFL 3'x5' NOS Polyester Dawg Pound Flag (New)

Before then-owner Art Modell moved the Browns to Baltimore a quarter-century+ ago, the Browns played in old Cleveland Municipal Stadium (which was actually designed and built to attract the Olympics). At the open end of the Stadium -- where the baseball bleachers were located -- were the cheapest seats available for a Browns game. Usually overflowing with loud, obnoxious, and seriously drunken spectators (some things never change, do they?), it evolved into a home-field advantage as the noise level made it difficult for the road team to hear their quarterback's signals. This area ultimately became the place to be. Someone began barking and throwing dog biscuits on the field; it caught on and the bleacher area became known as the Dawg Pound. When the Browns returned in 1999 with a new stadium, the new owners tried to maintain the tradition, but the new venue just didn't exude the same charisma (in other words, it was too nice). Anyway, Emerson produced this NOS (New Old Stock) 3'x5' flag which epitomized the spirit of the old Dawg Pound. It's a quality polyester flag, with their "Poly-Tuf" header and o-rings. It's also very durable, as we see some of the old versions still flying in the area during football season. A wonderful gift for anyone who attended games in the old Dawg Pound (providing there are any survivors) ...In original packaging. Taiwan. Thanks for dropping by and visiting. JVT28-01102102
