Adidas has been producing high-quality game balls since 1963. At that time, most footballs were brown, heavy, and painful to kick. In 1970, FIFA first asked Adidas to provide the official ball for the Mexico World Cup. At that time, Adidas had become the world's leading football brand

Telstar

1970 Mexico World Cup< /p>

"Telstar" is entirely made of genuine leather, which is no different from other balls at the time, but what makes it unique is that its surface is composed of 32 hand-stitched panels (12 black pentagon and 20 white hexagons), this new structure with balanced stitching gives the football a rounder and more perfect shape. This revolutionary structural design wrote a new page in football history. "Telstar" for the first time inlays black pentagons on white footballs, making the footballs more conspicuous on black and white TV screens. ("Telstar" comes from "Star of Television". The 1970 World Cup in Mexico was the first to broadcast World Cup games via satellite). To this day, "Telstar" remains the prototype for all kinds of footballs.

Telstar & Chile

1974 World Cup in Germany

Two Adidas match balls were used in the 1974 World Cup in Germany. "Telstar" changed the original black Adidas logo to gold, and "Chile" is an all-white ball launched by Adidas based on the success of "Telstar". (An all-white ball was used in the 1962 Chile World Cup.) The materials and technology of the two balls are basically the same as those four years ago.

Tango

1978 Argentina World Cup

The 1978 ball once again achieved a historic breakthrough in design: the famous "Tango" design was born. She became a classic in the history of football production. 20 "Triangular Adidas" shaped panels are connected to each other to form 12 circles of equal size. Since then, every cup ball has been improved on the basis of this design. "Tango" improves the ball's adaptability to various climatic conditions, and its design draws on the passion and elegance of Argentina's traditional dance tango.

Tango Espana

1982 World Cup in Spain

"Tango Espana" only made minor changes in design. The key innovation is in technology: she It is still made of genuine leather, but uses waterproof and sealed stitching, which greatly reduces the water absorption of the ball and controls the additional increase in ball weight to the greatest extent.

Azteca

1986 World Cup in Mexico

"Azteca" is a revolution in football manufacturing technology. Her exterior design incorporates the style of the Aztec architecture and mural patterns of the host's indigenous people; technically, it is made of synthetic materials for the first time. The use of this synthetic material enhances the ball's durability while further making it less absorbent. Whether on the hard ground, high in the air or in wet conditions, she excels. "Azteca" created a leap in football history.

Etrusco Unico

1990 World Cup in Italy

"Etrusco Unico" has improved the synthetic materials and added a black polyurethane foam inner layer to the ball for the first time. The ball is completely waterproof and the running speed is improved again. As for the name "Etrusco Unico" and its rather complex appearance design, it is completely influenced by Italy's ancient and gorgeous history and the exquisite art of Etruria. The pattern depicted on each "Triangle Adidas" inlay is Three Etruscan lion heads.

Questra

1994 World Cup in the United States

"Quesra" used an inner layer of white polyurethane foam with energy recovery properties for the first time. This inner layer makes the ball softer to the touch (easier to control) and faster. The designer hopes that it can fly as fast as a rocket taking off the ground. The idea of ??"Questra" comes from the United States' pursuit of space exploration and space technology.

Tricolore

1998 World Cup in France

"Tricolore": Chinese name "Tricolore", she was the first to print colorful patterns in the World Cup football. Its design is inspired by the French tricolor flag and the traditional "rooster" logo of the French nation and the French Football Federation. The main innovation of "Tricolore" is the use of a new composite foam material. The internal structure is elastic bubbles arranged tightly and regularly. Each bubble is closed and filled with gas. This new type of composite material is more wear-resistant, giving the ball better energy recovery performance, making the ball fly more stable and in a more accurate direction. "Tricolore" also uses "transparent printing" technology for the first time to make the ball's pattern more vivid, less likely to wear and tear, and have a longer life.

adidas Fevernova?

2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea

"Fevernova" is translated as "Flying Fire Star" in Chinese. "Flying Bolide" is the first time Adidas has adopted a design that breaks the rules since launching TangoTM, the designated match ball for the 1978 World Cup. The appearance design incorporates elements of modern Asian culture, making it more dynamic and innovative. The high-tech synthetic foam layer structure used in "Flying Fire Star" is based on the improvement of the 98 France World Cup tricolor ball. The improved foam layer is composed of numerous ultra-pressure-resistant and equal-sized micro-airbags. This structure gives the ball body outstanding energy recovery performance and additional force cushioning performance, effectively improving the controllability and accuracy of the football. Spend.

adidas +Teamgeist?

2006 World Cup in Germany

"+Team Star" (+Teamgeist?) means the important spirit of winning the World Cup: team power. She uses a new special-shaped piece and seamless lamination technology, unprecedentedly reducing the football ball surface pieces to 14 pieces, eliminating irregular concavities and convexities on the surface of the ball to the greatest extent, making the ball present a perfect arc, thus effectively improving the The precision with which football is run. "+Team Star" is mainly composed of black, white and gold. Black and white are the traditional colors of the host German national football team, while gold represents the World Cup championship trophy.
