The official match ball of the 1954 FIFA World Cup was composed of 18 panels with zig-zag edges, perfectly interlocked to each other. The ball was completely hand sewn and no longer had laces — just like its predecessor, the Superball from the 1950 World Cup. The colour of the ball was not dark brown any more, rather an attractive yellowish or “hell orange”. This made the ball more visible during rainy matches when the pitch became muddy. The name of this newly designed ball was Swiss World Champion and it was manufactured by the company Kost Sports from Basel.
