2014 Roger the Alien / Grateful Dead USA Hockey Pin

 

Here is an unofficial 2014 pin that you may not have seen before.  This pin depicts a Grateful Dead / Roger the Alien character from the television show American Dad adorned in hockey gear (wearing a "USA" hockey helmet no less) in front of the Sochi Winter Olympic symbol--it is quite the piece!  Most certainly not an "official" Olympic pin, but it sure is a conversation piece.  Oh, yes, the back does say "Minter Olympics XXII", not "Winter".  The value on this pin is $12.00 USD, but with only 100 made it might be difficult to track one down.  Good luck.

2014 Team USA Hockey Silhouette Pin

Here's another nicely made Honav pin for the 2014 Sochi Winter Games.  This pin was produced for Team USA and depicts the silhouette of a hockey player.  The pin has a value of $9.00 USD, and was available for direct purchase off of the Team USA website.

2014 PricewaterhouseCoopers Hockey Pin

This hockey sponsor pin also comes from the 2014 Sochi Games, and was made for PWC (or PricewaterhouseCoopers), which is a multinational professional services firm headquartered in London, United Kingdom.  This pin has a value of $7.00 USD (but during the 2014 Games I did see it sell for over twice that amount).

2014 NOC German Olympic Hockey Team

This is a unique NOC team pin from the 2014 Winter Games held in Sochi, Russia.  The pin states "Deutscher Eishockey Bund" which translates to German Ice Hockey Team, and includes a pictogram of a hockey player in the center of the pin.  What makes this team pin unique among the dozens of different NOC hockey team pins that I have seen over the years is that it also includes pictograms of several other sport disciplines (ski jumping, speed skating, biathalon, downhill skiing, bobsled and figure skating).  The pin has a value of $20.00 USD, but during the Sochi Games it often sold for nearly twice that amount.
