AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed Visual Description

This pin depicts the stylized bust of a football player, identifiable by his characteristic haircut and horizontal striped jersey. The object features a cut-out silhouette following the contours of the character, with a glossy finish and a golden border outlining each color zone. The upper part shows the player's face and hair, while the lower part shows a red and black striped jersey, typical of football jerseys from the late 80s and early 90s.

The inscription "Panasonic" appears in golden letters on the chest, evoking a major sponsor of Olympique de Marseille during that period. The vibrant colors and graphic style are representative of sports pins produced in the 1990s, using a cloisonné enamel technique on a metallic gold-colored base.

The visible face shows no other markings, numbers, or edition details. The player's face, though stylized, suggests a smiling expression, reinforcing the tribute to an emblematic figure of the club. The item is presented on a light textile background, which is not included in the sale.

The surface of the pin has a smooth and glossy appearance, with some reflections indicating the quality of the enamel. The contours are sharp and regular, with no chips or apparent defects on the front face. The golden finish highlights the details of the design and enhances the sponsor's logo.

This type of badge is aimed at collectors of Olympique de Marseille memorabilia, French football history, and the sports aesthetics of the 90s. It is a visual testament to the era when Panasonic was a major partner of OM.
