Olympic Spirits

Stick me with this pin if you must, but don't hold it against me. I prefer dark brews. Props to Budweiser, though, for being an athletic supporter.

I Got Seoul

I couldn't get a very clear picture with the iphone, but this Olympic pin is from Seoul, Korea, in 1988. It came with a box of Kodak film I bought. At K-mart. The one that isn't there any more. No, the other one that's not there any more. (Old Raleigh peeps should understand.)

Grand Torino

Here's my 2006 Torino Olympic pin. Ain't it grand? I have no idea where I got it.

Fake Lake

This pin is not officially licensed Olympic merchandise; however it was produced for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Lake Lanier hosted the rowing events, I believe.

Variable Pinterest

NationsBank? NCNB? Bank of America? Can't keep up with bank names any easier than keeping up with Olympic sprinters. Fortunately, they issued an official Olympic pin so we'd know what they were called in 1996.

O-pinning Ceremony

Olympic pins! I has 'em. This may be the only Olympic pin I actually purchased (in Atlanta in 1996).
