Vintage retro Sonzay Football Club enamel pin green yellow old sport

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Vintage pin badge featuring the Sonzay football club, depicted here in a rectangular, predominantly green composition, enhanced by a stylized yellow and brown football in relief. The background of the pin is a vibrant green, on which two cross-shaped yellow bands bear the clearly legible embossed inscriptions "FOOTBALL" (vertically) and "SONZAY" (horizontally).

The football, positioned in the upper right corner, stands out with its round shape and yellow surface punctuated with brown hexagonal motifs, evoking the classic design of a football. The edges of the pin have a shiny metallic appearance, highlighting the different colour zones and accentuating the relief of the inscriptions.

The visible surface is smooth, with a brilliant enamel finish that enhances the vibrant colours and sharpness of the motifs. No major defects are visible on the front; however, the piece shows a slight patina, typical of old pins, without significant alteration to the design. The overall impression clearly evokes promotional or associative creations from the 80s-90s, though the exact period cannot be specified in the absence of a dated inscription.

The graphic design, the use of coloured enamel, and the embossed typography are characteristic of pins made for local sports clubs in France, particularly in the context of popular sporting events or campaigns to support amateur teams.

This pin is shown in the photograph on a gold-decorated stand, which highlights its retro appearance and the contrast of its colours. No other markings or details are visible on the displayed side.
