The German brand therefore launched their first-ever football featuring a non-traditional panel design (Adidas Teamgeist), which was heavily criticized for its flight characteristics.

Adidas 2006 World Cup Template
Here are some of the kits that used Adidas' template.
Much more remarkable than Adidas' current templates, Adidas' kit design for the 2006 World Cup and the 2016-17 campaign offers their designers less freedom than the designs of the brand's current templates. It therefore has a much more brand-defining character and makes it easy to see at first glance from which time the kit is.
On the left sleeve of the jersey is Adidas' famous +Teamgeist logo (Teamgeist means 'team spirit'). The numbers also feature a streamlined design that you likely remember if you watched the World Cup.
