Olympique Marseille vintage Adidas retro OM football pin badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Figurative pin depicting an Olympique de Marseille football player, wearing the club's emblematic blue kit. The piece features a drawn design, with gold outlines and colorful enameling, typical of pins produced in the 1990s. The player wears a blue V-neck jersey, adorned with "adidas" and "ERICSSON" inscriptions in gold letters, as well as the OM logo visible on the chest. The silhouette is stylized, with black mid-length hair and schematic facial details, giving the pin a retro and caricatural style. The shorts and socks match the jersey, with white and black details on the shoes.

The visible side shows a glossy finish, alternating bright blue, gold, and beige enamel areas. The gold lines highlight the character's contours and add relief to the piece. The entire pin is cut to the shape of the player, without a visible background, which highlights the silhouette and graphic design.

This badge clearly evokes the world of French football and the history of Olympique de Marseille, with a precise visual reference to the period when the club was sponsored by Ericsson and equipped by Adidas. This type of pin was particularly common during the 1990s, often distributed at sporting events or sold in official stores.

The piece is presented here on a white stand, which is not included in the sale. The overall visible condition shows good color and varnish preservation, with no major chips or scratches apparent on the front face. The details of the face and jersey remain clear, although the style is intentionally schematic.
