AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old advertising pin depicting a stylized sun-shaped character playing football, on a blue background bordered with gold. This pin features a vertical rectangular design, with the dynamic character at the center, legs spread apart, wearing large black and white cleats, and kicking a black and white football on the left side. The entire design is enhanced by shiny golden outlines, typical of 1990s enamel pins.

At the bottom, the inscription "MIDI OLYMPIQUE" appears in red and gold letters on a blue background, topped with a large white "M" encircled in blue. Below, the handwritten mention "Partenaire de l'OM" is legible, indicating an official partnership with Olympique de Marseille. The overall colors (blue, gold, white, red) recall the graphic charter of the Marseille club and its sports press partner.

The visible side has a smooth, enameled surface, with vibrant colors and a glossy finish. No major defects are visible in the photo: the enamel appears intact, with no chips or noticeable scratches, and the golden outlines remain sharp. The reverse side is not visible in the photo.

This vintage pin is typical of promotional items distributed during sporting events or in partnership with football clubs in the 1990s. It is a compact accessory, easy to wear on clothing or display in a showcase.

The inscriptions on the front are perfectly legible, and the graphic style of the sun is reminiscent of the playful mascots or logos used by sports sponsors of the era. The whole immediately evokes the retro atmosphere of French football, and particularly that of Olympique de Marseille.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible side is in very good overall condition, with no apparent defects on the enamel or decoration.
