Vintage CISCO Liberty Phoenix AZ Football Soccer USA Badge Pin

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description: This antique pin features a shield shape, typical of American sports badges. On the visible side, the background is black, highlighted by a red band at the top, punctuated with small golden stars. In the center, a large golden eagle is depicted with wings spread, perched on a white and black soccer ball. On this ball is a red banner bearing the inscription "LIBERTY" in golden letters. At the top of the shield, the word "CISCO" appears in golden letters, while at the bottom, the inscription "Phx., Az." is visible, indicating Phoenix, Arizona (USA).

The overall finish of the pin is enameled with visible golden outlines around the entire perimeter and around the main motifs. The whole is highlighted by a marked contrast between the matte black of the background and the brilliance of the red and white enamel. The details of the eagle and the ball are finely sculpted, adding relief to the piece.

The surface shows some slight signs of wear visible on the gilding, typical of a vintage object that has lived, with no major apparent defects on the exposed side. The graphic style, typography, and construction suggest a production from the 1980s-1990s, a period when this type of sports shield was common in American clubs and tournaments.

This pin is a fine example of a badge bearing the effigy of a club or sports event, here linked to soccer in the United States, with a clear reference to Phoenix, Arizona. It stands out for its emblematic motif and bold colors, characteristic of North American sports club or team badges.

Its compact shape and visual quality make it a decorative object easy to display on a textile support, a jacket, or in a display case dedicated to sports memorabilia and enamel objects.

Condition: Used item, sold as is. Some signs of wear visible on the gilding and enamel. See photo for more details.
