Description
Own a Piece of Harvard History -- presenting the FDR Sports Flag!
Almost 15 years ago, the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Foundation discovered a battered black tube peaking out of a bin at an dusty antique shop. Opening the wooden stopper revealed a faded crimson banner bearing a proud but tattered H. It was a Harvard sports flag, a common sight when FDR attended the College in 1900, but now strangely forgotten.
After more than 120 years, including 6 years of design and production effort, this historic symbol returns as the perfect item to show your Harvard spirit at any sporting or House event, or to hang proudly on your wall.
The flag measures 9"x12" and rolls into a narrow 11" metal tube for convenient storage.
