Given the picture shown, I think the pin wins over the medal.

I look at my bedroom bulletin board where I have a bunch of medals. Guess what? They all look alike other than year and color. But a pin can look different year-to-year. Take the one shown, then do one for Overdrive with flags, or for the 2010 game with the 2010 game object... Variety, cost savings, and ease of display. (Have a bulletin board? Stow the back piece of the pin somewhere and stick the pin in. Or pin to shirt.)
