The new Adidas 2016-2017 Europa League Soccer Ball introduces a brand-new color scheme, released on August 25, 2016. The white, red and navy edition of the Adidas Europa League Official Match Ball was debuted in the play-off round of the 2016-17 Europa League.
Adidas Europa League 16-17 Ball White / Scarlet / Collegiate Burgundy
This is the new Adidas 2016-2016 UEFA Europa League Official Match Ball.
Combining the main color white with different shades of red and navy, the new Adidas Europa League Ball for the 2016-17 season is actually nothing really new. In fact, the new Europa League 2016-2017 Soccer Ball comes with the same upper design that was introduced for last season's edition, which was the first Euro League Ball after the rebranding of the competition.
Tech-wise, the Adidas 2016-2017 Europa League might be just used in the secondary club tournament organized by the UEFA, but nevertheless offers the same features as the ball used for the 2014 World Cup, including the remarkable six-panels design.
Retailing at the same price as all other Adidas Official Match Balls, the new Adidas 2016-2017 Euro League Ball is available for 140 Euro (105 GBP, 160 USD).
What do you think of the 'new' Adidas Europa League 2016-2017 Ball? Let us know in the comments below, and also check out the much more unique Adidas Ball for the 2016-17 Champions League.
Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collage.
