Detailed visual description

This pin depicts a commemorative football match badge, dated August 25, 1990, featuring FC Nantes against Olympique de Marseille. On the visible side, the pin has an elaborate shape, merging the emblems of the two clubs. On the left, the FC Nantes logo is distinguishable, composed of green and yellow motifs, while the right side highlights the light blue ball with "DROIT AU BUT" (Straight to the Goal), OM's historical motto. The center is marked by a stylized post, evoking a goalpost, which visually separates the two parts.

The surface has an enameled finish, with bright and contrasting colors: green and yellow for Nantes, light blue and gold for Marseille. The outlines and lettering are highlighted by a metallic gold border. The inscription "F.C. NANTES O. MARSEILLE 25.08.90" appears in the lower part of the badge, in fine, clearly legible characters in the photo. The whole is compact, without unnecessary protrusions, and the design clearly evokes the style of 1990s sports pins.

The pin is presented on a white fabric background, which highlights its colors and overall condition. The shape is irregular, following the contours of the logos and the ball. No major defects are visible on the front, but there is a slight patina on the gold parts, typical of an object from this period.

This badge is a period object, typical of souvenirs from memorable French Ligue 1 matches. It appeals to football memorabilia enthusiasts and highlights the historical rivalry between Nantes and Marseille, two major clubs in the French championship.
