Top 10 Coolest Soccer Balls in History
1. First World Cup Ball
There was no official ball during the first World Cup held in 1930. Argentina supplied the ball used in the 1st half – the Tiento, and Uruguay provided the ball used in the 2nd half – the T-Model.
An interesting fact is that Argentina won the first half by 2-1, but Uruguay ended up winning the game by 4-2, thereby becoming the first World Cup champions. The famous T-Model ball was distinctly larger and heavier than the Tiento supplied by Argentina.
2. Adidas Telstar
Adidas was the mastermind brand behind the black and white soccer ball design we all know and love. They called it the Telstar, and this ball made its debut in the 1970 World Cup.
