26/10: New Pride the Lion Team GB Pin Announced

The next in the series of official Team GB pins leading up to Rio 216 has been announced.

This time, Pride the Lion is driving a Christmas sleigh being pulled by Rudolph.

A picture of the artwork is available and the pin will be approximately 48mm x 40mm, so a fairly large pin this time.

Circulation is limited to 500 like the first pin and no word on pricing at the moment. 

I imagine that this pin will be available from the same retailers as the first pin. More details as soon as I have them.

21/10: New Team GB Pin Update

Here are a couple more details about the new Team GB pin launched last week.

TS001 on card

The pin is mounted on a white card with Union flag detailing. The card and in are enclosed in a clear cellophane wrapper to prevent damage to the pin.

The pin is approximately 32mm x 10mm and the card 55mm x 85mm.

The pin is marked on the back: Circulation = 500 TS001.

The back of the card is also printed with 'Limited circulation of 500 pieces'

18/10: New Team GB Pin

As Team GB prepare for Rio in 2016, the first in a new range of official Team GB supporter pins has been released.

TS001 - Believe in Extraordinary

The pin is numbered TS0001 and combines the Team GB logo and Olympic rings with the wording 'Believe In Extraordinary'.

I understand there will be a number of official Team GB supporter pins produced in the run up to the next summer Olympic Games.

This first pin is limited to 500 copies and over 50% have already been sold, so it seems likely that this first pin will sell out and be one of the harder ones to pick up nearer Games time.

It is available from

• www.greatbritishcollectables.com (the new name for Glamorous Living)
• www.fine-gifts.co.uk (the new name for Coin Bazaar)
• www.pinsandthings.com

If you order from any of these sites, please tell them you read about the pin on London Pins - thanks.

The next Team GB pin is planned to be a Pride the Lion Christmas pin with more designs to follow in 2016.
