Description

This pin depicts the Stade Vélodrome, the iconic home of Olympique de Marseille, viewed in perspective. The shape of the pin matches that of the stadium, with a structure evoking stylized stands in light beige and blue segments highlighting the roof or seating, typical of the Marseille stadium's design. The central pitch is green, reinforcing the sporting and recognizable aspect of the item.

At the bottom of the pin, the famous Olympique de Marseille logo, "OM," is clearly visible, accompanied by the motto "DROIT AU BUT" (Right to the Goal) finely inscribed in capital letters. The logo is embossed with a gold appearance, contrasting with the rest of the piece. The overall finish is a brilliant enamel, very common on pins from the late 20th century, with bold colors and crisp outlines.

The visible front shows no major defects, deep scratches, or chips. The colors remain vibrant, and the details of both the stadium and the logo are sharp, with no apparent wear on the front. The general appearance is that of an old "vintage" pin, likely from the 1980s or 1990s, a period when this type of product was very popular among supporters and at sporting events.

The item has a compact structure, typical of fan pins, with a recognizable silhouette at first glance. It is a football accessory, both a souvenir and a symbol of belonging to the history of the Marseille club.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible front is in good overall condition, with no notable defects. The colors and varnish are well preserved.

Did you know? The Stade Vélodrome, inaugurated in 1937, is the largest football stadium in the south of France and has been home to Olympique de Marseille since its creation. It has undergone several major renovations, particularly for the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2016, but its architecture remains a strong symbol of the city and the club.
