Expert description

Vintage pin depicting Olympique de Marseille (OM), an iconic French football club. This badge features the famous golden OM logo in the foreground, accompanied by its motto "DROIT AU BUT" in capital letters, perfectly legible on the lower part. The background shows a stylized view of the Vélodrome stadium, identifiable by its oval shape and detailed stands, with light blue areas evoking the roof and green for the central pitch. The inscription "MARSEILLE" appears at the top left, integrated into the stadium's architecture.

The pin has a brilliant finish with sharp golden outlines, highlighting both the architectural elements and the club's emblem. The color palette combines gold, sky blue, and green, typical of Marseilles iconography. The design is in relief, offering a textured feel on the visible surface.

The overall shape of the pin is slightly curved, following the lines of the stadium in the background. No major defects are visible on the front face, which appears in very good visual condition, without notable scratches or chips. The surface shows a beautiful brilliance, characteristic of enameled pins from the late 20th century. No movable elements or apparent mechanisms on the visible part.

This pin is for any enthusiast of sports memorabilia, football-related promotional items, or vintage badges featuring historic clubs. It perfectly illustrates the aesthetics of the 1990s, a period during which this type of promotional product was frequently distributed during matches or official events.
