Adidas has released a brand-new official soccer ball for this season's Champions League, which inherits the most representative classic form of the "Planet" series, and at the same time is quite different from the past-the background color and pattern color of football are exchanged, and a clear white five-pointed star is propped up on a novel blue background.
The dark blue night sky, which originated from the official symbol of the Champions League, not only draws a clear spherical boundary, but also shines with subtle details, patterns and textures. At the same time, the collocation of several different blue tone images symbolizes the continuous rolling of football.
