Vintage Olympique de Marseille Panasonic OM retro football player pin

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This pin depicts a stylized football player wearing a jersey identifiable by its golden yellow and green colors, adorned with "Panasonic" and "Adidas" logos and the Olympique de Marseille (OM) crest visible on the front. The pin has a cutout shape following the player's bust silhouette, with clean outlines and a shiny finish, typical of enameled productions from the 1980s-1990s. The details of the face and hair are simplified, in a graphic style characteristic of sports pins from this period.

The surface is predominantly golden yellow, with green touches on the shoulders and the OM crest located to the wearer's right. The "Panasonic" logo, a historical sponsor of OM in the 1990s, is clearly inscribed in the center of the jersey, while the "Adidas" logo appears on the left side (from the wearer's perspective). The whole evokes the jerseys worn by the club during this decade, reinforcing the retro and vintage aspect of this pin.

The technique used is that of an enameled pin, offering a smooth and shiny surface. The colors are vibrant and well-preserved on the visible side. The visible metallic outline highlights the shape and adds a touch of relief to the whole. No major defects, scratches, or chips are observable on the exposed part of the object in the photo.

This pin is typical of promotional and supporter items produced at the end of the 20th century, featuring French football clubs. Its bust presentation, associated with sponsor and equipment manufacturer details, is characteristic of merchandise from that era, often exchanged or collected during sports events and events related to OM.

The visible side shows no additional inscriptions or markings. The reverse, the attachment system, or any manufacturer mentions are not visible in the provided image and will therefore not be described.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The front of the pin is very well preserved, with no apparent defects in the photo.
