Description:

This collection of three collectible phone cards from the 1994 World Rowing Championships held in Indianapolis vividly captures the spirit and precision of competitive rowing through striking and focused imagery. Each card represents a different denomination—$1, $5, and $10—and together they form a cohesive visual narrative celebrating the sport. Branded with the official 1994 World Rowing Championships logo and the Ameritech logo, these cards add authenticity and sponsorship significance, enhancing their appeal as collectibles.

The $10 card features a close-up, abstract depiction of several rowing oars standing vertically against a dark purple background. One oar stands out with a bold blue cross on a white background, reminiscent of the Finnish flag, subtly emphasizing the international nature of the event. This composition highlights the essential tools of the sport, showcasing the craftsmanship and design of the oars while evoking a sense of national pride. The clean, geometric lines and color blocking lend a modern, graphic art style to the image, contrasting with the more dynamic scenes on the other cards.

In contrast, the $1 card presents an energetic, action-packed scene of multiple rowing crews mid-race, illustrating the athleticism and teamwork vital to the sport. Four boats, each crewed with rowers in coordinated white, blue, and red uniforms, powerfully cut through the water. The synchronized movements of the rowers demonstrate rigorous training and dedication, emphasizing both speed and technical skill. The perspective captures the excitement of competition and the fluid motion inherent in rowing as a watersport.

The $5 card offers an intimate view of a single boat’s interior, focusing on the rowing shoes securely attached to the wooden shell of the scull. The shoes, decorated with distinctive red-and-white stripes, are ready for a rower’s feet, highlighting the crucial equipment that transforms human effort into swift, gliding motion. The polished wood and gleaming metal hardware underscore the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail involved in each boat. This quiet, detailed image provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the sport, where equipment and preparation are as vital as the race itself.

Together, these phone cards form a comprehensive tribute to the 1994 World Rowing Championships, blending bold imagery of competition, equipment, and national pride. They encapsulate the technical skill, physical effort, and cultural diversity of rowing, making them not only functional collectibles but also treasured memorabilia for sports and watersports enthusiasts alike.
