      Olympic Pins Shine and Custom Sports Pins Guide

      (1)

      The Paris Olympic Games is coming to an end. While the competition is booming, various custom sports pins are also shining brightly. These pins display the Olympic spirit everywhere in the trading market, sports venues and even on the podium.

      1. Eye-catching enamel hangings

      Recently, on a social platform, a photo of the Chinese sports delegation at the Paris Olympics showed an exquisite and compact panda ornament hanging on the athlete's backpack, which aroused heated discussions among netizens.

      This pendant is about two knuckles wide and features a cute panda as the main body. It holds a heart on its chest that says "Come on Team China" and raises its arms and shouts, as if cheering for the Chinese team! This pendant also integrates landmark buildings and floral elements from China and France, and is paired with an adjustable Chinese knotted hand rope, conveying the beautiful meaning of "Sino-French friendship" and "increasing progress" in the unique mind.

      SICpin has also recently received orders for a variety of custom sports pins designed by Olympic enthusiasts. While demonstrating the Olympic spirit, fans and customers also expressed their best wishes for the Paris Olympics to reach the peak of competition and show the charm of sports to the world.

      It's worth noting that the Olympic rings, the word “Olympic” or any of the Olympic Properties are protected by intellectual property rights owned by the IOC so, in general, you need the IOC's authorisation before using them in the market.

      So, in the absence of your authorization, you can only make custom sports pins of your own designs, including highlights during the Olympic Games or cartoon sports animation without any of the Olympic official properties. This can not only reflect the Olympic spirit, but also respect the Olympic copyright.

      2. Pin trade culture: a unique landscape of sports events

      Samaranch, honorary president of the International Olympic Committee, once described the Olympic pin: "It looks small, but it records friendship and history. These pins make many people become friends and build bridges around the world."

      As an important part of Olympic culture, trading Olympic pins has been an endless pleasure for media reporters, athletes, volunteers and even private collectors at previous Olympic Games.

      At the Olympics, trading pins is like a relay of friendship across national borders and regardless of age and gender, storing everyone's exclusive memories of the Olympics. Trading Olympic pins has once again become a popular way of socializing inside and outside the Paris arena.

       

      Sports trading pins

      Of course, Olympic pin trades also have their own rules. For example, only trade and not sell is one of the principles that must be followed in pin trade. In the Olympic Games, the significance of pin trade is to convey the intention of making friends. What you get in trade is not only your favorite pin, but also a commemoration and a friendship.

      The designs of Olympic pins generally contain the country's history, culture, customs and other elements. By trading pins, people enhance mutual understanding and friendship and promote trades between different countries and cultures. At the same time, because Olympic pins are usually beautifully designed, have special significance, and are issued in limited quantities, they have high commemorative and collection value.

      3. The pin conveys the Olympic spirit

      Spain’s Carolina Marin was forced to abandon the badminton women’s singles competition after sustaining an injury in her semi-final against the People’s Republic of China’s He.

      She was devastated for her Spanish opponent, visibly upset as she addressed the media in tears after the match. Marin has previously struggled with serious knee injuries, making her withdrawal from the entire tournament even more painful.

      When He took to the podium to collect her silver medal, she already had something in her hand: a Team Spain Olympic pin.

      Marin also thanked He in a statement on Tuesday, 6 August, where she said: “I wished He Bingjiao all the best in the final, because sportsmanship was above all else. But the moment on the podium is one of the loveliest gestures anyone has ever made to me and I will always be incredibly grateful to her.”

      It is this small pin that conveys the Olympic spirit on the podium and also shows the international friendship between China and Spain.
