Adidas have been responsible for making the official ball since Mexico 70 and this image shows how the design has changed and evolved over the years.
The first four balls were made from leather before the fully synthetic ‘Azteca’ was introduced for Mexico 86.

It’s a football, lads. They kick it into the goal. Spare us the waffle.
