Adidas announced the official game football of the 2018 World Cup in Moscow, the Russian capital. The official ball was named Telstar18. Related 2018 World Cup Football.
The design of Telstar18 pays tribute to the 1970 World Cup. Telstar has its origins in the "star of television." Since the designers added black elements to the surface of the football, the black and white football matches quickly received a lot of attention on black-and-white television. Since then, football The design has been changed historically.
Roland, director of football equipment for Adidas, said: “The first generation of Telstar is a very representative work in the history of football. Its appearance has made a huge breakthrough in the design of football. The development of Telstar18 is a daunting challenge for us. It is new. Seamless bonding technology will also provide users with a new experience."
World Cup Ball Revolution
The World Cup is one of the most watched sports events in the world. The changes in the official ball of each World Cup represent the development of the modern football ball making process.
From the appearance of the World Cup since 1930, it can be clearly seen from the appearance of three different stages.
Between 1930 and 2014, there were two official World Cup official balls that appeared to be rather special: First, in the 1970 Mexico World Cup, football was unified from the original chaotic block into the classic design of 32 blocks; the second was the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Football changed from 32 pieces to 14 pieces, while the 2010 South Africa World Cup was reduced to 8 again, and to the 2014 World Cup it was 6 pieces.
In 1970, Adidas chose the 32-hedron for the first time to customize the official ball for the World Cup. It was a geometric problem that solved the problem of football out-of-roundness.
In 2006, the World Cup came to Adidas's headquarters in Germany. This time they gave up 32 classic designs and turned into 14 pieces - this time the football revolution completely changed the development trend of the world football craft.
Adidas replaced the traditional sewing process with thermal bonding technology, fundamentally eliminating the possibility of deformation due to wear or water immersion. In the manufacturing process, the ball is heated in a bowl-shaped mold that is close to a perfect sphere, and the multilayer structure of the bladder, sphere, and polyurethane coating is chemically reacted to seal the entire football once. Since then, Adidas has opened a new chapter in football craftsmanship.
Hot paste technology
Most of the polymer materials are thermoplastic, that is, after heating to a certain extent, they will soften and melt, become a viscous fluid with a certain degree of fluidity, and then solidify again after cooling. The thermal-bonded nonwoven process utilizes this feature to cause some of the fibers (or the hot-melt powders to soften and melt) after the web is heated to produce a bond between the fibers. After cooling, the web is consolidated and becomes a thermally bonded nonwoven. Thermally bonded nonwovens can be divided into three categories: hot roll bonding, hot melt bonding, and ultrasonic bonding.
The development of thermal paste technology enables the ball to maintain a stable flight path under any weather conditions, thus greatly improving the player's control over football.
Hot-paste football adopts a spherical molding method to achieve a three-dimensional structure, so that it can perfectly wrap the ball inside the body and make the football reach an unprecedented roundness. The method of spherical molding makes each piece of the skin three-dimensional structure, and then splicing is completed by thermal bonding technology, so that the new ball is more round and more accurate than before.
Compared with the traditional hand-stitched football, hot-bonded football eliminates irregular irregularities on the surface of the sphere to the maximum extent, so that the sphere presents a perfect circular arc, which effectively improves the precision of football operation. At the same time, seamless splicing is a spherical surface with excellent airtightness and waterproofness.
