Enamel Pin Football Picardy District Aisne FFF vintage white red

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique pin features a rectangular shape with square corners, characteristic of promotional badges from the 1980s-1990s. The visible side has a glossy white background, on which a stylized map of the Picardy region stands out, with the Aisne district colored red. Several embossed inscriptions are present: "PICARDIE" at the top, "DISTRICT AISNE" on the map, "FOOTBALL" at the bottom right, and the logo of the French Football Federation (FFF) represented by a stylized blue rooster accompanied by the red and blue letters "FFF". A brown football completes the composition, reinforcing the object's sporting identity.

The enameling technique used here offers a sharp contrast between the red, white, and blue areas, with golden outlines highlighting each element. This type of enameled finish is typical of commemorative and promotional pins distributed during regional sporting events or given to members and officials. The visible side shows no major apparent defects; the surface appears well preserved, with a uniform shine and vibrant colors.

The graphic design, typographic choices, and representation of the football evoke a late 20th-century production, a period when this type of pin was common in French regional leagues. The overall design is compact, without excessive decoration, making it easy to wear on a jacket, bag, or cap. No details of the reverse are visible in the photo.

The regional motif and the inscription "DISTRICT AISNE" make this pin specific to the organization of amateur football in Picardy, affiliated with the French Football Federation. The patriotic colors and the stylized map highlight local attachment and the promotion of regional football.

The piece is presented on a wooden stand with gold decoration, which is not included in the sale but enhances the decorative aspect of the object.
