Hanging Your Work From the Rafters

On April 1, the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres raised a banner to the rafters for play-by-play broadcaster Rick Jeanneret, who’s retiring at the end of this season after more than 50 years behind the mic. About two weeks prior to that, they ran a teaser tweet that showed photos of the banner being made.

Something about the photos in that tweet — especially the one at upper-right, showing a worker tending to the banner in a room with an exposed-brick wall — gave me a hunch: Was this banner being made by Oxford Pennant, the Buffalo-based company that in recent years has made small banners for the NFL’s Buffalo Bills?
