Issue:
As Main Topic: As it was with the Stamp issued with the same motif, I think Football or Soccer Topic will be the selected one, and this one in a wider Sports Topic. Then, going on the opposite direction, to more precise Topics: Uruguayan Football, Football Teams, Uruguayan Football Teams, even Centenarians Football Teams, and of course the team honoured itself "Institución Atlética Sud América" or "Sud América" too.
Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings: First, the Centenary Topic, and then, going deeper, as the origins of the Club has his roots in the Jewish Neighbourhood, Jews could be a Topic related to this release. Then, the Club also has the particularity to be nicknamed "Buzones", that means Mailbox, so Mailbox itself and Post are Topics included in this Issue too.
Now, regarding the desing of the Special Cancelation: Besides reinforcing all the previously mentioned topics, it also add the Clothing Topic, or the more precise ones, Sportwears or T-Shirts, as the cancellation shows the sketch of a Football T-Shirt, that outline the text that commemorates the Centenary of Sud América Football Team.
Finally, in a more symbolic way: As well as in the Stamp of this motif, I said that the more symbolic Topics were by the side of The History of Uruguay, specially the Small Stories, the Anecdotes, the Simple Things, that step by step mades the History of any Nation, for the cancellation I think, by selecting the T-Shirt in the design, instead of the Neighbourhood and the Mailbox shown in the Stamp, the focus was shifted to Football itself rather than History.
Stamps selection:
The stamps selected were: Naturally,the Stamp issued with the same motif was the first option, and one of the stamps selected, the other one was one Released on February 2nd of 2007 that commemorates the First Infantile Football World Cup, celebrated in Uruguay that year, and named "José Nazzasi", honouring this great Uruguayan Football Player.
The reason for selecting these stamps was: for the first one, trivial, because It match exactly with the Cancellation Topic, then the selection of the second one, although clearly influenced by Football Topic, none of the previous stamps were related with Sud América Team, so the stamp selected was one of many that could have worked well too.
The selection of this stamp in particular was due to it has the virtue of been rather Neutral insided the Football Topic, as although there were issued recently stamps about the Centenary of another Football Teams, I think that it would not be fair with the Football Team honoured in the Cancellation, using a stamp about another Club, so I prefered a Neutral one.
The other merit of the stamp selected, was his connection with the Past or History of Uruguayan Football, through the Personality of José Nazzasi.
The selection of this stamps, add the following topics: As already mentioned, both, the Cancellation and the first stamp selected, were released commemorating the same, so this stamps only reinforces the Topics that already exist in the Cancelation.
However, the second one, besides reinforcing Football or Soccer Topic, and this in a wider Sports, also includes some other more precise Topics inside Football, like Infantile Football, and more precise Infantile Football World Cups, and that in particular Infantile Football World Cup Uruguay 2007, probably all of them difficult to find in stamps, then there is another branch of Topics like Football Players or Uruguayan Football Players, and also the Personality of Jose Nazzasi too.
Then, following the path of José Nazzasi, several topics emerge. First Olympic Games, and Football World Cups, as he won both Olympic Game Paris 1924 and Olympic Game Amsterdam 1928, and also the World Cup Uruguay 1930, then other topics appears by the Football Teams in which he played, that were all Uruguayan Football Teams: Centro Atlético Lito, a team that now did not exist, and the still existing Club Atlético Bella Vista, and Club Nacional de Football.
Another Topic that could be seen in this second stamp is the Flags one, with the Flag of Uruguay in his design, and with the Flag of Uruguay, as already mentioned in previous issues, includes the presence of the Sun, more in particular the Sun of May that refers to the May Revolution, a week-long series of events that took place from May 18 to 25, 1810, in Buenos Aires, capital of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata. This Spanish colony included roughly the territories of present-day Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay. The result was the removal of Viceroy Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros and the establishment of a local government, the Primera Junta (First Junta), on May 25. It is also claimed that the Sun of May is a representation of the Inca Sun god Inti, and also another view is that is influenced by the emblem of the French Revolution, and that emblem was taken from the Freemasonic representations of the All-seeing eye.
Finally, some minor topics, like Balls, a new one in the Logotype, and an old one holded by José Nazzasi, are shown, and also the Tie and Suit Topics, that reinforces the wider Clothing Topic already present in the Cancellation, because of the strange way in which the kid is dressed.
If you consider that there are another topics in this stamp, that were not spot in this review, you are encouraged to telling me about them, so please do not hesitate to post a comment. I would appreciate your help very much.
