Sold during his 1972 tour, this pennant features an inset black and white photo (6”x6”) of the king wearing his black butterfly costume. The costume is best described as a black jumpsuit with a matching yellow lined cape. He wore it with a belt which was original to the costume, and alternated it with a gold attendance belt. Fans have described the suit as a reversed version of the White Pyramid. The nails on the suit are tiny butterflies. One of the suits that was only worn in Vegas, and never on tour. Apparently, there were two slightly different versions of this suit. The other, which can be seen on the "costume fitting" pictures, has yellow lined cape, and yellow kick pleats, and the other, which has been on display at Graceland, has gold lined cape and kick pleats.
Printed in blue on the white pennant background is, “The King Of Rock And Roll” and “ELVIS – The One and Only”. Made in the USA is found in the bottom left corner. Excellent overall condition with some light staining on the upper border and tip.
