Topics:
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.
