Description

Vintage pin depicting a football player in action, from the "Les Taoupats" series. The item features a stylized player's silhouette, wearing a bright yellow short-sleeved jersey, black shorts, and yellow socks with black stripes, all details highlighted by a shiny silver outline. The player is in a dribbling position, with a black and white football at his feet. The scene stands out against a green background that evokes a field, with the inscription "LES TAOUPATS" in silver capital letters, clearly legible on the lower part.

The visible surface displays a smooth and shiny finish, typical of enameled pins, with bold colors and a metallic appearance on the outlines. The back of the pin is not visible in the photo, but a golden butterfly clutch is distinguishable in the background, suggesting a classic fastening system for this type of object.

The design of the pin, as well as the graphic style of the player and the colorful enameling, evoke the production of sports pins from the 1980s-1990s, which were very common in football clubs and during regional or associative events. The details of the outfit, the color contrast, and the typography are reminiscent of the characteristic retro aesthetic of this period.

The pin is presented in slight relief, with enameled areas in yellow, white, black, and green, separated by thin metallic outlines. No major defects are visible on the front: the enamel appears intact, without chips or noticeable scratches, and the inscriptions are clear. The back clasp, although partially obscured, appears in good used condition.

The mention "Les Taoupats" suggests a club, a local team, or a regional sporting event, which gives this pin a particular interest for lovers of vintage football objects, club souvenirs, or sports memorabilia.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The front has a beautiful sheen, with no apparent defects on the enamel or the design. The butterfly clutch appears functional.
