Sports Illustrated Olympic Pin Set

This is a vintage promotional pin set featuring two distinct lapel pins issued by Sports Illustrated in association with the Olympic Games. The square-shaped pin on the left features the iconic 'Sports Illustrated' serif wordmark in black against a gold-tone background, situated above the five interlocking Olympic rings. The rectangular vertical pin on the right contains the Olympic rings in the center, flanked by the Sports Illustrated logo at the bottom and a stylized swirling graphic in red, black, and gold at the top, likely representing a specific Olympic year or host committee (resembling the 1996 Atlanta or 2000 Sydney era aesthetics). Both pins appear to be made of gold-finish metal with hard enamel or cloissoné-style coloring. They are presented in a clear plastic protective display case with a black foam insert. The craftsmanship shows clean lines and vibrant pigmentation typical of high-quality corporate memorabilia from the late 20th century. The condition appears to be excellent or 'new old stock' (NOS), with no visible scratches on the pin surfaces, though the plastic outer case shows minor surface scuffing and light scratches from handling. These items are highly collectible within the 'pin trading' community established at the Olympic Games.
