Vintage enameled football pin "We love 7-a-side football" retro player

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage pin depicts a seven-a-side football scene, typical of promotional items or souvenirs from the 80s-90s. The visible side shows two characters in action on a green field, one wearing a red outfit, the other in white with touches of black and red. Golden outlines emphasize the design, adding a brilliant, retro finish to the whole. A cream-colored speech bubble occupies the upper part and bears the embossed inscription: "NOUS AIMONS LE FOOT A 7!" (WE LOVE 7-A-SIDE FOOTBALL!).

The green enameled background evokes a stylized football field, with two goals drawn in the background. The characters are rendered in a naive and playful style, faithful to the aesthetic of popular pins from the 80s-90s. The pin has an irregular shape that follows the contour of the scene, accentuating its decorative and original aspect. The embossed gilding frames each element, offering a clear contrast with the enameled colors.

The visible surface does not show any major chips; however, there are some micro-scratches or marks related to age, mainly on the light upper part, which is common for this type of old enameled object. The colors remain vibrant and the inscription perfectly legible.

This pin is presented on a textile background, in an antique case (not included unless specified), which highlights its vintage appearance and its quality enameled manufacturing. No brand logo is visible on the presented side.

This pin will be perfect for decorating a jacket, a bag, or for display in a showcase dedicated to sports souvenirs and retro objects. It is a representative example of the graphic style and enameling techniques used at the end of the 20th century for promotional items related to football and team sports.

Condition

Second-hand item, sold as is. Shows slight traces of time, micro-scratches and minor wear visible on the enamel and gilding, without impacting the overall aesthetic.

Did you know? Seven-a-side football, also called small-sided football, is a variant of traditional football that is particularly aimed at young categories and leisure. It is played on smaller fields and encourages the active participation of each player, making it a very widespread discipline in schools and clubs since the 1970s.
