Vintage Olympique de Marseille pin, old OM Amateur Section football badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This pin depicts a stylized football player in action, wearing a predominantly yellow jersey with green details, positioned above a ball atop the inscription "OM Section Amateur". The entire design is encircled by a gold outline that enhances the pin's shiny appearance, typical of 1980s-1990s productions. This badge has a dynamic silhouette, true to the tradition of sports pins from that period, with a precise and meticulous representation of the player's movement.

The lower part of the pin features the "OM" (Olympique de Marseille) logo, topped by the words "Section Amateur" in highly legible black capital letters. The contrast of the gilding with the colored yellow and green enamel offers excellent readability and a sought-after vintage aesthetic. The overall finish is shiny and smooth, characteristic of enamelled pins from this era.

This badge is designed in a cut-out shape, precisely following the silhouette of the player and the ball, without a rectangular or circular background. This cut-out process highlights the level of detail and the attention paid to showcasing the design. The graphic style of the player, as well as the typography, clearly evoke a retro design typical of the 80s-90s, without being precisely dated.

The pin presents a front surface without major visible flaws in the photo: no chips, enamel damage, or apparent oxidation on the face. The shine of the gilded metal is well preserved, and the enamel colors remain bright and crisp. The item is photographed on a white textile background, highlighting its reflections and the fineness of its contours.
