Barbados – Scott # 1069, used

Description

This Barbados commemorative stamp, Scott #1069, was issued in 2004 to mark the 100th anniversary of FIFA, the international governing body of association football. The issue commemorates a century of organized international football and highlights Barbados’s participation in the global sport.

The design features an action scene of a football goalkeeper in mid-air, reaching to block the ball against a crowded stadium backdrop. The dynamic composition conveys motion, athleticism, and competitive intensity. Prominent logos for FIFA’s centenary and the Barbados Football Association are incorporated into the design, reinforcing the commemorative purpose of the issue.

Bold color contrasts and graphic elements distinguish the stamp from earlier sports issues, reflecting early 21st-century design trends that favored high-energy visuals and branding. The large country name and denomination ensure clarity while allowing the dramatic sports imagery to dominate.

This example is offered used, bearing a light postal cancellation consistent with standard commercial mail usage. Used copies are common for this issue and are popular with collectors of football, sports history, and international sporting organizations.
