Description

Vintage pin depicting a football player in action, associated with ES St Simon. The piece is shaped with a cutout silhouette of the character, typical of sports pins distributed in the 1980s-1990s. The player is dressed in a long-sleeved green and white uniform, white shorts, green socks with white trim, and black shoes, evoking the club's colours. The football at the player's feet is black with gold patterns. The entire piece rests on a green base where the inscription "E.S ST. SIMON" appears in gold letters on an enamelled background.

The visible face has a smooth and shiny finish, with golden outlines delimiting each colour zone. The enamel used offers a vivid and bright appearance, characteristic of pins from this period. The graphic style, both naive and dynamic, evokes the sports mascots popular in French amateur and community football.

The details of the player's face are stylized, with black hair, expressive eyes, and a moving posture, accentuating the dynamism of the scene. The lettering is clear, well-centred, and easily legible on the lower part of the pin. No manufacturer's logo is visible on the front.

This pin stands out for the vibrancy of its colours and the quality of its enamelling, without superfluous patterns, for immediate identification of the ES St Simon club. The object is presented upright, well-highlighted against a carved wooden background, which emphasizes the brilliance of its enamelled surface and its golden finishes.

The structure of the pin evokes a classic sports badge, appreciated for its simple and effective graphics. The whole is compact, with clean lines and a beautiful visual presence. This type of pin was frequently distributed at tournaments, events, or to club members.
