Vintage Olympique de Marseille pin, old Stade Vélodrome OM badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This pin depicts a stylized view of the Vélodrome stadium, associated with the famous Olympique de Marseille football club. On the visible side, a raised architectural structure evokes the stadium, with sky blue and gold colored details, typical of OM's visual identity. The club's emblematic logo - the "OM" monogram topped with a star - is placed in the foreground, emphasizing its affiliation with Olympique de Marseille.

The inscription "MARSEILLE" appears in capital letters on the upper blue part, while at the bottom of the pin, the motto "DROIT AU BUT" (Straight to the Goal) is legible, highlighting the club's historical motto. The graphics, typography, and color palette suggest a manufacturing period from the 80s-90s, when this style of pin was very popular in French sports merchandising.

The object has a shiny finish with a golden appearance on the entire structure, enhanced by bright blue and green enameled areas to represent the stadium's roof and pitch, respectively. The details of the stands and tiers are finely marked in relief, bringing depth and realism to the piece. No other pattern or text is visible on the front face.

The shape of the pin is irregular, conforming to the contours of the stylized stadium, giving it a unique and immediately recognizable look for any Marseille football fan. The visible surface shows no major apparent defects: no chips, deep scratches, or visible enamel loss in the photo.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The front face has a very beautiful shiny appearance with well-preserved colors, with no noticeable defects visible in the photo.
