beardy Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Just bought myself a Tango replica and it is a thing of beauty. Really evocative. Anyway made me think of footballs. The first ball I remember is a white one with a red strip around the middle which I think conformed with the panels of the ball. Would be lkate 70's very early 80's. I'm not sure what make it was, may have been Mitre. Does anyone know what this ball is? In the meantime here a picture of the beautiful Tango. It really is a stunning design.

AberdeenAngus Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 The red stripe ball was used in England. No idea of the make though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainmac1 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Every world cup they come up with a new ball that they always say is rounder and has a truer flight. Always wondered how they can keep making a ball rounder every 4 years. What did they play with in the first world cup, a rectangle?

beardy Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Outstanding work, that's the one. Apparently you can still buy them. Not as beautiful as the Tango though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 They used to use a belter in La Liga years ago when it first came on sky sports. Was just a plain white baw with a Nike tick in the middle, was a thing of beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
