The whole is set on a background with rounded and angular contours, giving the badge a recognizable and dynamic silhouette. The lower part of the pin features the clearly legible inscription: \"FORT-MARDYCK OLYMPIQUE CLUB\", in golden letters on a white and red background, which reinforces the sporting and associative identity of the object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish of the pin has a smooth enamelled appearance, with golden separations between the different color zones, typical of the pin manufacturing techniques of the 1980s-1990s. The bright colors and the contrast between red, white and black give a dynamic and attractive visual aspect, while the presence of fine details on the shoe (laces, side stripes) highlights a certain manufacturing care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe back of the pin is not visible in the photo, but the front shows a glossy surface, with no apparent major defects, and the contours remain sharp despite some small signs of wear consistent with a second-hand item from that era. The pin is presented resting on an old box, which further enhances its retro character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of badge is typical of sports accessories distributed during events, for members or supporters of local clubs. The overall graphics, enameling and typography are consistent with the advertising production of French amateur clubs at the end of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe design combines two strong football symbols — the ball and the boot — accentuating the vocation of the Fort-Mardyck Olympique club and making this pin immediately identifiable to any sports enthusiast or collector of French football memorabilia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
