The pin measures 28mm x 23mm and is not backstamped.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, a second 'I AM TEAM GB' pin issued by the National Lottery (Camelot) does exist.

The first pin measures 28mmx24mm and the second pin 27mm x 18mm.

Thes epiks are not available for retail customers and I have no information on the issue size.

News today of some non-retail pins that are being issued in connection with Team GB and Rio 2016.

The first is a sponsor pin from Camelot / ITV and features both company logos together with the Team GB logo and the slogan 'I AM TEAM GB'

The other pin announced today is the 'British House' pin. This pin is only available to delegates, athletes and guests who visit the Team GB British House in Rio. There are 4,200 of these in circulation and 200 of them will be available for retail but are not part of the Team GB retail series.

23/3: New Team GB Pins 'RIO' and 100 DTG

Two news pins have been released by Team GB in the run up to Rio 2016.

The first is a brilliant design combining the medal colours to form the word 'RIO'. In my opinion one of the simplest yet effective designs we've seen.

TS004 - Bronze, Silver, Gold - RIO

This pin is limited to 1,000 pieces and available now.

The other new release is a 100 day to go pin.

TS007 - 100 Days to Go

This pin is a gold coloured pin with the Team GB logo in relief rather than coloured. It combines distinctive elements of the Rio skyline namely Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain together with the 100 DAYS TO GO caption, the date and the Team GB logo.

This pin will be available soon but can be preordered. It is limited to only 500 pieces.
