Adidas just unveiled the new Major League Soccer 2015 Official Match Ball, officially called Adidas Nativo. In September 2014, Major League Soccer introduced the new MLS 2015 branding to represent Major League Soccer's vision to become a top league by 2022. The new Adidas Nativo 2015 MLS Soccer Ball exemplifies the league's "Next" identity.

This is the new Adidas Nativo 2015 MLS Soccer Ball.

The new 2015 MLS Official Match Ball ushers a new era for soccer in the United States and Canada with a red, white and blue color pattern, combined with a unique US and Canadian graphic pattern.

The name Nativo gives a "nod to the ball's stature in the game and pride in the domestic league." On the upper of the new MLS Ball is the brand new Major League Soccer logo, while the lettering NATIVO and Official Match Ball are printed on the red / blue design.

“Our partnership with MLS is incredibly important to us because together, we’re ensuring our homegrown athletes have viable opportunities to play soccer at the highest level,” said Ernesto Bruce, director of soccer at adidas America, in a statement. “Entering the league’s 20th season, we’re excited to bring our most advanced ball ever to the soccer pitch so we can help players perform at their best.”

Based on the visual design of the Adidas Conext 15 Match Ball, the new Adidas Nativo 2015 MLS Ball comes with the same technologies as the cutting-edge Adidas Brazuca 2014 World Cup Ball. The Adidas Nativo features six panels to improve stability and symmetry in flight.
