A while back we made this scoreboard of the Kerry Wood 20K game. Reddit actually helped make sure everything was accurate so I’m coming back to you for the second phase. We’re going to add the pennants that we’re hanging on that day. We have the positions already, but we aren’t sure about the colors. Can anyone tell me if these are the correct pennant colors for the NL teams on May 6, 1998?
I also know there is an error with the Philly game. We’re on that.

By 1998, the NL West and NL Central team flags swapped places with the NL West team flags. To this day, the NL West team flags are on the left, the NL Central team flags are on the center and the NL East team flags remain on the right side.
Below is each team’s scoreboard flag:
**Cubs** – blue with red letters
**Cardinals** – White with red letters
**Reds** – Red with white letters (an inverse of the Cardinals flag)
**Pirates** – black with yellow letters
**Brewers** – yellow with navy blue letters
**Mets** – Orange with blue letters
**Braves** – Navy Blue with red letters
**Phillies** – Maroon with white letters (even after the team changed their colors from maroon to red/blue in 1992)
**Marlins** – was black with white letters from 2012 to 2018. Originally teal with black letters from 1993 to 2011. Not sure what the flag is now due to the team’s rebrand this year.
**Nationals/Expos** – White with red letters (the same as the Cardinals although the red is a tad lighter). When they were the Expos, the flag was white with blue letters (an inverse of the Dodgers flag)
**Dodgers** – Blue with white letters
**Padres** – Navy Blue with khaki letters since 2004. Beforehand, the flag was brown with yellow letters, even during the 90s when the team changed its colors to navy/orange
**Diamondbacks** – Currently orange with white letter since 2016, although orange is not one of the Diamondbacks colors. The flag was previously Dark Red with sand letters from 2007 to 2015. Not sure what the flag colors were from 1998-2006. Can’t find an image from that period
**Rockies** – Purple with white letters
**Giants** – Black with orange letters
**Astros** – Gold with dark red letters from 2000 to 2012. Prior to 2000, the flag was orange with blue (navy?) letters, the same as the Mets flag even when the Astros changed their uniform/colors in 1994. The flag was removed when the Astros moved to the AL in 2013. I guess its back to orange with blue letters like it had been before?
