Visual Description

This pin features a shield shape, characteristic of sports badges. The visible side has a shiny metallic background, adorned with an embossed motif. The central part displays a stylized map of the Somme in bright yellow, surmounting a white and black football. The inscriptions "FFF", "DISTRICT DE LA SOMME", "LPF" and "DE FOOTBALL" are clearly visible, in blue capital letters. All elements are chiseled, with a smooth finish and clean outlines, typical of enameled pins produced in the 80s-90s.

The contrast between the vibrant colors (yellow, blue, white) and the metallic gray background accentuates the readability and official look of this promotional item. The surface shows some signs of use and micro-scratches, consistent with a vintage pin. The shield is slightly domed, providing a relief effect appreciated on this type of badge.

This pin highlights the visual identity of the Somme District of the French Football Federation (FFF), with the mention "LPF" (Ligue de Picardie de Football) emphasizing its regional affiliation. The typography and general design evoke productions from the late 20th century, a period when this type of merchandise was widely distributed during sporting events or official meetings.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The visible side shows light signs of wear, some superficial scratches and an authentic patina, without major chips. The colors remain well contrasted and the whole retains good readability.

Did you know? Departmental districts, such as that of the Somme, have been organizing local competitions for the FFF since the 1970s and play a key role in the development of amateur football in France. Official pins were often distributed during assemblies, tournaments or award ceremonies, symbolizing belonging to a recognized sports institution.
