Vintage Marseille Olympique OM mascot football retro old badge pin

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This pin depicts a stylized mascot associated with Olympique de Marseille, an iconic French football club. The piece features a dynamic silhouette evoking an animal character (likely a lion or feline, typical of sports iconography), in full playing action, with its foot on a football with hexagonal patterns.

On the visible side, the pin has a golden outline finish with solid cream, turquoise blue, and black colors, characteristic of 1990s productions. The motif is highlighted by a strong contrast between the colored areas and the golden parts, emphasizing the movement and energy of the scene. The background of the pin follows the shape of the character, without a straight border, which accentuates its decorative and dynamic appearance.

The mascot wears simplified clothing elements evoking a football jersey, notably by the presence of turquoise blue touches, a color traditionally associated with OM. The expressive face and the details of the ball are finely drawn, which testifies to careful manufacturing typical of promotional pins distributed during sporting events or in fan shops.

The pin is displayed upright on a white textile support, which enhances the brilliance of the golden finish and the vibrant color palette. No additional markings, text, or logo are visible on the presented side.

The ensemble evokes a retro piece, both by its graphic style and by the colored enamel technique on a golden background, a frequent practice in advertising objects and sports souvenirs from the 1980s-1990s.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible side shows good overall shine, with no major apparent defects. Some slight signs of use or micro-scratches may be observed from certain angles, typical of an old, handled pin.

Did you know? The pin, very popular in France in the 1980s and 1990s, was often used to promote sports clubs, events, or brands. Olympique de Marseille regularly released limited series of pins featuring mascots or club symbols, which became emblematic souvenirs for supporters.
