词源
pennant (n.)1610s, “a rope for hoisting,” probably a blend or confusion of pendant in the nautical sense of “suspended rope” and pennon “long, narrow flag.” Use for “flag on a warship” is by 1690s; as “flag long in the fly as compared with its hoist,” 1815. The meaning “flag symbolizing a sports championship” (especially baseball) is from 1880; as a synonym for “championship” it  is attested by 1915.Related entries & more

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
pennant (n.)1610s,“用于提升的绳索”,可能是航海意义上的“吊绳”和“长而窄的旗帜”的 pennant 的混合或混淆。 “军舰上的旗帜”的使用是在 1690 年代; 1815 年,“旗帜与升起的旗子相比,在空中飘扬”。“象征体育冠军的旗帜”(尤其是棒球)的含义来自 1880 年;作为“冠军”的同义词,它于 1915 年得到证实。相关条目及更多
