1970 world cup football match-TV star
65438-0970 World Cup in Mexico, FIFA designated Adidas for the first time to provide official match balls for the World Cup. In this World Cup, people broadcast the game live on TV for the first time through the international communication satellite, so this lucky football was named "Telstar". "TV Star" and "TV Star" are all made of real leather, which is nothing special compared with other football at that time, but what is different is that their surfaces are composed of 32 hand-sewn panels (12 black pentagons and 20 white hexagons). This brand-new structure and balanced sewing make football have a more round and perfect appearance. This revolutionary structural design has written a new page in the history of football. "TV Star" inlaid a black Pentagon on a white football for the first time, which also made the football more conspicuous in the black-and-white TV picture. Telstar is named after TV Star, because 1970 World Cup in Mexico is the first time to broadcast the World Cup via satellite. Today, "TV star" is still the prototype of all kinds of football.
1974 World Cup ball-Chile
"Chile" In the 1974 World Cup in Germany, FIFA used two kinds of Adidas balls-TV Star reappeared with a brand-new gold trademark instead of the previous black trademark; In addition, with the successful experience of TV stars, Adi also launched a brand-new all-white ball in Chile. However, no matter the material or the manufacturing process, there is no progress compared with the ball used in 1970. The materials and techniques of the two balls are basically the same as those of four years ago.
1978 world cup ball-tango
From 65438 to 0978, football design experienced a reform. At that time, the most famous "tango" design had been launched, and Adidas once again "tango" brought a "classic football design" work.

Tango is characterized by improved weather resistance, inspired by the deep passion and elegance of Argentine dance. 1978 achieved another historic breakthrough in design: the famous "tango" design was born, and it became a classic in the history of football production. Twenty "triangle adidas" inlays are connected with each other to form 12 circles of equal size. Since then, every cup-shaped ball has been improved on the basis of this design. "Tango" improves the adaptability of the ball to various climatic conditions, and the design draws lessons from the passion and elegance of Argentine traditional dance tango.
1982 World Cup Ball-Spanish Tango
The design of Spanish tango tango only changed slightly in 1982. But "Spanish Tango" has an important technological innovation: although Spanish Tango is still made of leather, its revolutionary water seal seam has broken through the technology at that time. This amazing innovation reduces the water absorption of the ball, thus reducing the weight of the ball.
Aztec, 1986 World Cup ball

The architectural style of the Aztec aborigines in Mexico, the host country, and the "Aztec" decorated by murals are beautiful and exquisite. This is the first world cup ball made of artificial leather. The use of synthetic materials increases the durability of the ball and further reduces the water absorption of the ball, so that the ball can maintain the same performance in hard ground, high altitude and humid environment.
1990 World Cup Ball-Etruria
"Etrusco Unico" has become the designated ball for the World Cup in Italy. It is completely made of synthetic materials and has excellent waterproof performance. In order to reflect the culture of Italy, the design of the ball incorporates the image of the Etruscan lion head.

1998 world cup ball-tricolor ball
"Tricolor" is the first color official match ball in the history of the World Cup. It was inspired by the colors of the French flag and Gaul rooster. Tricolor ball is characterized by newly developed "synthetic foam", which further improved the durability and energy rebound of football at that time and made it more acute.
Ball for the 2002 World Cup-Flying to the Fireball
The design of "flying to the fireball" and "flying to the fireball" transcends the past concepts. Its shape design is based on white, and four dynamic darts inlaid with gold and red surround the football surface, which allows players to better see the rotation of the football. The dynamic and novel appearance of Fly to the Fireball is inspired by the philosophical thoughts of Korea and Japan: gold symbolizes the passion and vitality given by the host country to the World Cup; The red flame represents the motivation of enthusiasm; The four triangles with turbine patterns in the center of the sphere explain the perfect balance of the sphere in industrial language, and also symbolize the achievements made by South Korea and Japan in scientific and technological innovation in recent years.

20 10 world cup in south Africa-celebrating the whole world
"Universal Celebration" adopts the newly developed "Grip'n'Groove" spherical surface of Adidas, which consists of only eight skins. For the first time, Adidas adopted the method of spherical molding to make each skin realize a three-dimensional structure, and then spliced by thermal bonding technology, thus making the new ball more rounded and more accurate than before. "Celebrate with the whole world" and "Celebrate with the whole world" are derived from the Bantu Zulu language family. Literal translation means "Celebrate the whole world". As Adidas' 65438th+065438th+0 World Cup ball, "Celebrate the Whole World" adopts different colors of 1 1 in its design.
