StampNews.com: Top 10 Most Interesting Sport-Themed Stamps 2012
New York, NY, August 24, 2013 --(PR.com)-- The editorial team of StampNews.com has prepared their third stamp ranking - Top 10 most interesting sport-themed stamps of 2012.
The year 2012 was rich in sporting events, and above all, the Summer Olympic Games in London are to be mentioned.
But in spite of the grandeur of this event, and of the fact that practically all the countries celebrated the Olympics by the issue of stamps, and some even were able to promptly (within several days) launch special issues commemorating their medal winners, frankly speaking, there are a few really outstanding stamps on the Olympic themes we could single out.
Moreover, top winners of StampNews ranking don’t concern the London Olympics. Or, to be more precise, one of the winner stamps is actually about the Olympics, if you look closely.
However, other “Olympians” only close the StampNews.com sports ranking.
#1. Germany: “For Sports 2012″ stamp series from Germany
The German post issued three stamps to celebrate the most important sporting events for Germany and the whole world in 2012: Football Championship in Poland and Ukraine, Olympic Games in London and Table Tennis Championship in Dortmund.
The stamps were designed by Jens Muller and Karen Weiland, Dusseldorf.
#2. Finland: HockeyBird skates into the ice hockey world championship tournament’s official stamp
The official stamp of the ice hockey world championship 2012 tournament organized in Helsinki, Finland portrays the widely noted mascot HockeyBird.
#3. Russia: Mascots of the XXII Winter Olympics and XI Winter Paralympics 2014 in Sochi
Russia issued a series of stamps announcing the upcoming Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics.
The stamp blocks are dedicated to the mascots of the Winter Olympics and Paralympics 2014. They depict Leopard, Polar Bear and Hare and talismans of the XI Winter Paralympic Games – Snowflake and Ray of Light.
