Telstar was a football made by Adidas. The 32-panel design of the ball, based on the work of Eigil Nielsen, has become iconic and is the standard design now used to portray a football in different media. ==The ball== The ball was first introduced as the Telstar Erlast for the 1968 European Football Championship. It was also the official match ball of the 1970 FIFA World Cup in Mexico. The ball was then further use in the 1972 and 1976 European Championships. The similar Telstar Durlast was one of two official balls, along with the ''Chile Durlast'', of the 1974 FIFA World Cup held in West Germany.〔〔 The Telstar was the first World Cup ball to use the now-familiar truncated icosahedron for its design, consisting of 12 black pentagonal and 20 white hexagonal panels.〔〔 The 32-panel configuration had been introduced in 1962 by Select Sport,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Story of Select )〕 and was also used in the official logo for the 1970 World Cup. The black-and-white pattern, to aid visibility on black and white television broadcasts, was also well established before the Telstar.〔〔See Getty Images photos: * (#53324431 ) 1965 European Cup Final * (#3376509 ) Terry Venables in 1965 * (#81398917 ) New York Champions Cup 1966 * (#2887049 ) 1967 European Cup Winners' Cup Final 〕 The name came from the Telstar communications satellite, which was roughly spherical and dotted with solar panels, somewhat similar in appearance to the football.〔 The ball was made of leather.〔 The 1974 model's "Durlast" polyurethane coating provided waterproofing as well as protection from damage such as scuffs and tears.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Durlast )〕 Only 20 Telstars were provided for the World Cup; an estimated 600,000 replicas were sold subsequently.〔 Some 1970 matches were played with a brown ball.〔See Getty Images photos of matches in the Estadio Nou Camp, León: * (#80752641 ) (West Germany v. England) * (#79662284 ) (Bulgaria v. Morocco) * (#81345734 ) (Peru v. West Germany) * (#80752534 ) (Peru v. Morocco) 〕 The 1974 Chile Durlast was all white. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adidas Telstar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
