When we imagine a balloon in a caricatural way, we necessarily imagine a leather sphere, white in color and encrusted with several black pentagons. However, you had to experience the football of the 1960s and 70s to truly know these famous two-tone balls, with their simple design, which have become classic in the collective imagination. The Derbystar brand, ball sponsor of the Bundesliga for five years, has decided to revive this legendary style for the 2023-2024 season, which started yesterday.
A wink to celebrate 60 years of the Bundesliga
At the feet of Gerd Müller, Franz Beckenbauer and Uwe Seeler, the oldest football lovers will have to get used to seeing this vintage ball in the legs of Loïs Openda, Randal Kolu Muani and Harry Kane. The latter even had the opportunity to celebrate his first in the German championship by scoring against Werder Bremen, with this ball, with a 60-year-old design. Derbystar also thought of this dressing in resonance with the creation of the Bundesliga in 1963.
Present for the first two days on all the lawns of the German championship, the black and white ball will then be accompanied by two other models. The design will remain similar, but the colors will be different. One will stand out with its bright orange and turquoise blue boxes. The other will stand out with its main color white, combined with touches of mauve and turquoise. For the pleasure of our eyes and our memories, these three vintage-looking balls will circulate on all the lawns of the German championship this season.
