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.

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?

Fine in the dry but utter murder in the wet, and when the bladder started poking out it was Russian Roulette to see who could burst it!!!
