Vintage Seysses Sport Olympique football pin yellow black stripes

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Rectangular pin with a vintage look, in bright yellow and black colors, distinctly illustrating the world of French amateur football. The front features alternating vertical yellow and black stripes, reminiscent of a sports jersey. At the top, the inscription "SEYSES" appears in yellow capital letters on a black background. In the center, a white circle contains the handwritten mention "Sport Olympique" followed by the word "SEYSES" and five stylized Olympic rings, all hand-drawn, giving it an authentic style typical of late 20th-century productions.

The visible surface has a glossy finish, probably protected by a layer of resin or enamel, characteristic of promotional or club pins from the 1980s-1990s. The edges of the pin are encircled by a metal frame with a slightly patinated appearance, showing some traces of oxidation or aging, without any major visible chips in the photo. The central motif is clear, easily readable, and the colors remain strong despite slight signs of surface wear.

The rectangular format of this pin, as well as its vertical striped graphics, recall the iconography of local football clubs. The inscription "Sport Olympique Seysses" and the presence of stylized Olympic rings indicate a connection with the sports club of Seysses, a commune in southwestern France, probably for a football team or a multi-sport association active during the 1980s-1990s.

The item is mounted on a fastening support visible on the side, typical of pin badges or butterfly clutches. No other details or markings are visible on this side. The whole retains a consistent patina, testifying to past use, with no apparent structural alteration on the illustrated side.

This pin is an authentic testament to the history of French sports clubs and is a souvenir object linked to the associative life of Seysses. Its graphic design and distinctive colors make it an accessory that is easy to spot on clothing, a bag, or displayed in a showcase.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Presence of traces of wear, small scratches, and visible patina on the metal frame and the illustrated surface, with no major chips observed on the visible side.

Did you know? The sports pin became very popular in France from the late 1980s, especially during the Albertville Olympic Games in 1992, where it became a highly sought-after medium for representing local clubs and events. Many amateur clubs thus produced their own models to strengthen team spirit and mark their history.
