Vintage OM Pires Blue White Gold Olympique de Marseille Football Pin

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Figurative pin depicting a football player in an Olympique de Marseille kit, viewed from the front. This pin features a player identified by the inscription "PIRES" in gold letters on a green background at the base. The character wears a blue jersey with a white collar, adorned with the OM logo and "ERICSSON" sponsor, matched with white shorts and blue socks. The contours of the pin are highlighted by a shiny gold finish, typical of 1990s enameled productions.

The design presents a stylized illustration of the player, mouth open, mimicking a celebration gesture. The details of the face, black hair, and gesture are rendered with colorful enamel, giving it a playful yet recognizable look, faithful to the aesthetic of sports pins from that period. The pin is cut to the shape of the character, without a visible background, which highlights the dynamic silhouette.

The color palette primarily combines sky blue and white, emblematic of the OM club, enhanced by golden touches on the contours and inscriptions. The jersey clearly bears the number 7, reinforcing the identification of the player.

The item displays good shine and color preservation, with no visible chips or major wear on the photographed side. The surface has a smooth texture, typical of cloisonné enamel pins. No major defects are visible in the provided photo.

This pin is part of the tradition of advertising objects and souvenirs from French football clubs, particularly appreciated for their symbolic value and faithful representation of emblematic players.

Condition: Used item, sold as is. See photo for details of the visible side.
