Description

Old enameled metal pin featuring the Olympique de Marseille (OM) football club, designed for the 1990-1991 season. The pin has a stylized shape evoking the silhouette of the Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica, a symbol of Marseille, against a blue, white, and red tricolor flag background. The mention "OM" appears in blue in the upper left corner, accompanied by the inscription "90-91", indicating the season. At the bottom of the pin, the inscription "La Provençale" is clearly visible in red letters. The entire piece is framed by a golden finish, typical of late 20th-century pins.

This advertising or promotional badge has a distinctly retro look, with bold colors and clean outlines. The enameled metal construction offers a smooth and shiny finish, highlighted by the peripheral gilding. The reverse is not visible in the photo, but the presence of a classic pin attachment system is probable, suitable for wearing on a jacket, scarf, or bag.

The piece shows moderate signs of wear, particularly visible cracks in the white enamel, without major chips. The colors remain vibrant, and the inscriptions are perfectly legible. This type of pin was frequently distributed at sporting events or sponsored promotional campaigns, here by "La Provençale," a regional player associated with Provence.

The design evokes a typical 1990s style, both in its color palette and in its highlighting of the OM logo and regional graphic elements. This badge serves as a visual testament to French football of that era, with a strong local dimension.

Original used item, for lovers of Marseille sports memorabilia and vintage badges related to French football. Standard dimensions for this type of pin, with a compact format, easily wearable or displayable.
