Vintage Olympique de Marseille OM TRIO player pin old football badge

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This pin depicts a stylized football player, wearing the white jersey with blue trim of Olympique de Marseille. The round OM logo is clearly visible on the jersey's chest, as is the inscription "TRIO" in blue letters on the lower part. The design features a blond-haired character, bust-length, with colorful enamel work typical of pins from the late 1980s to 1990s.

The pin's shape is rectangular with an irregular base, evoking the bottom of a jersey, with a visible gold border around the entire periphery. The main colors are white, bright blue, and golden hues, with a smooth, shiny finish on the front face. The facial rendering and the simplicity of the graphics are characteristic of sports promotional products from this period.

The term "TRIO" inscribed on the jersey refers to a specific series or partnership, often used in advertising campaigns or for thematic lots related to OM. The pin does not show any explicit material indication, but its appearance suggests an enameled metal manufacture, classic for this type of object.

There is good preservation of colors and gilding on the visible side, with no apparent major wear. No enamel chips, scratches, or notable defects are visible on this side. The reverse side and attachment system are not visible in the photo and therefore cannot be described.

This badge constitutes a visual testimony to Olympique de Marseille's merchandise, particularly sought after for its retro design and its roots in French football culture of the 80s-90s.
