A hand-painted cartoon-style football (soccer) backglass. Sky-blue sky with white clouds fills the top third, over jagged snow-capped purple and blue mountains. Across the top-left a large curved yellow logo lettered with red polka dots reads 'Kicker', with smaller white script 'Chicago Coin's' above it. Upper right a white score window with a red-and-white barber-pole striped border shows four reels reading 0 0 0 0, and three small flags (red, green, yellow) on crossed black poles rise behind it. The middle band shows a green football pitch with white lines, a crowd of tiny figures in the stands either side, and leafy trees. Eleven players: a goalkeeper in a yellow shirt with a red number 1 and mauve shorts on the goal line, three outfield players in yellow shirts with red numbers (2 and 9 clearly) and mauve shorts, three players in red-and-white vertically striped shirts, blue shorts and red-and-white hooped socks running toward a red-and-white striped goal frame in the foreground, and a small greyhound-like black dog on the right touchline. Bottom corners: two red-haired women facing each other clapping, the left one in a red dress with white spots, the right one in a blue top. Two blank yellow instruction panels at the bottom edges show worn paint and a crack.
