Due to the questionable performance of the Jabulani, Adidas created the most tested ball ever for the Brazilian World Cup. The name “Brazuca,” voted on by fans, is an informal local term which describes the Brazilian way of life. The colours and ribbon design of the 6 ball panels symbolise the traditional multi-coloured wish bracelets worn in the country (fita do Senhor do Bonfim da Bahia), in addition to reflecting the vibrancy and fun associated with football in Brazil.
