Summary[edit]

Description

Adidas Telstar Durlast was the Official Match Ball for the 1974 FIFA World Cup Germany.

"It was painted with black and white panels so it was more visible on black-and-white television. The name came from Telstar, one of the first communications satellites, which was roughly spherical and dotted with solar panels, somewhat similar in appearance to the football.

It was the first World Cup ball to use the truncated icosahedron or bucky ball for its design, consisting of 12 black pentagonal and 20 white hexagonal panels, which later became the regular design of a football."
