The inscription \"SOULTZ 1919\" appears in clearly legible black letters on the lower part of the pin, highlighting its affiliation with a club founded in 1919. The central motif shows a player in a red jersey and light shorts, with matching socks and touches of black on the shoes and extremities. The ball, positioned to the right, is white with black patterns, evoking the classic style of traditional footballs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible surface has a smooth and shiny finish, typical of enameled pins, with raised areas delimiting the colors. The main hues are red, grass green, off-white, and black, offering effective contrast and good legibility of the graphic elements. The overall shape is slightly curved, following the movement of the player and the trajectory of the ball. The back fastening is partially visible: it is a butterfly clutch system, classic for this type of sports badge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall condition, based on the observed front face, shows a shiny appearance with some slight marks of use on the border, indicating proper preservation for an object of this category. No major chips or structural defects appear on the visible part. The enamel retains its luster and vivid colors, which enhances the whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis pin is typical of late 20th-century productions, both in its graphic style and the enameling technique used. It is part of the tradition of sports insignias distributed at events or within regional clubs, here associated with the Soultz club, founded in 1919, as the inscription reminds us. The details of the player, stylized but expressive, and the ball evoke the atmosphere of popular matches and the importance of football in local community life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe quality of the design, the clarity of the inscriptions, and the choice of colors make this pin a representative object of regional sports heritage, appreciated for its symbolic value as much as for its vintage aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
