Football-inspired art adorns new adidas Champions’ League ball
30/08/2013
The adidas UEFA Champions’ League Finale 13 is the ball that will be used by Europe's elite clubs during all group stage matches of the 2013/2014 competition, which begin on September 17. As with previous balls, the new design features an outer coating texture designed to provide what adidas calls “optimal grip at the point of impact”.
Artwork within the panel construction uses white, “infrared”, silver and black colours and graphics to signify a “ceremony of light” design, the company said. UEFA Champions League logos are positioned on the top and bottom panels and individual strands spreading from this design represent “the vibrant stadiums on match day and resulting light beams emanating across Europe”.
