Fancy!

Come to think of it, it looks more like a Finale "Kairo", though

adidas Finale Wembley 2013 OMB

Fancy!

FIFA, the Local Organising Committee and FIFA Partner adidas today revealed the name of the Official Match Ball for the 2014 FIFA World Cup™.

The ball will be called the “adidas Brazuca” following a public vote by over one million Brazilian football fans, where the name received 70 per cent of the vote.

Has anyone seen this ball before?

 

?

 

Apologies I meant to insert a picture which was too big earlier...it seems a smaller version also did not show up. How can I insert pictures from my laptop?

There might be an easier way (which I don't know), but you could upload the picture(s) to an image hoster and then use the URL to display the picture(s).

Has anyone seen this ball before?

This seems to be the first time that PowerOrange balls are sold in retail...

It does. And that is exacty why I'm gonna be waiting until the price drops significantly. I will certainly not buy it for >$100 or >€80.

adidas Torfabrik 2012/2013 OMB (50 years of Bundeliga)

The name "The Albert" is due to a funny peculiarity of Cockney (a variety spoken in London) or its rhyming slang feature, respectively:

"Rhyming Slang phrases are derived from taking an expression which rhymes with a word and then using that expression instead of the word. For example the word "look" rhymes with "butcher's hook". In many cases the rhyming word is omitted - so you won't find too many Londoners having a "bucher's hook" at this site, but you might find a few having a "butcher's".

The rhyming word is not always omitted so Cockney expressions can vary in their construction, and it is simply a matter of convention which version is used."

examples:

English: Feet Rhymes with: Plates of meat Cockney: Plates

English: Teeth Rhymes with: Hampstead Heath Cockney: Hampsteads

English: Arms Rhymes with: Chalk Farms Cockney: Chalk Farms

English: Head Rhymes with: Loaf of bread Cockney: Loaf

So, in this case: The Albert Hall rhymes with soccer ball turns into The Albert.

As for The Albert:

Luckily, I stopped collecting Olympic Games OMBs. It's simply awful.

Looking for Ligue 1 match balls if anyone has for sale or trade..

Which one(s) are you looking for?

This is what the adidas Torbabrik 2012/2013 OMB is roughly going to like like:

I have already seen one but couldn't find any pictures.

So I simply took a picture of this Schalke Torfabrik Capitano (that is already being sold on ebay) and did some modifications using Photoshop.

It's a ood idea to reactivate this thread, Reg. Let's hope Mario and the others will join us, too.

Nice Minis, by the way.
