Coincidence? Adidas 2022 World Cup Ball Features Hidden Trefoil Logo

A video of the Adidas 2022 World Cup ball has gone viral - does the Adidas 2022 World Cup ball showcase a Trefoil logo?

The video got more than 2 million plays on TikTok

The video and detection have been made by the custom ball maker @jonpaulsballs. His video has been seen more than 2 million times on TikTok alone.

Coincidence - Adidas 2022 World Cup Ball Panels Create Shape Similar to Trefoil Logo

When randomly cutting out 3 panels of the Adidas 2022 World Cup ball, there is a cutout that resembles the Trefoil logo. Now people are questioning if this is a coincidence or was intended by Adidas.

It is pure coincidence by 99%

However, while it would be ultimately clever by Adidas to have such a masked branding, it is almost 100% certain that this is pure coincidence.

According to Adidas, the ball has been "designed from the inside out using data from rigorous testing in Adidas labs, wind tunnels, and on-pitch". The result is an innovative new 20-piece panel shape that randomly shows the Trefoil logo.

Adidas Cut Out 2022 World Cup Ball to Showcase Adidas Suspension System

To showcase their new chip inside the Al Rihla ball, Adidas also cut out parts. Their cutout is a simple octagon.

What do you think? Is it an intentional piece of branding flair or a random shape? Comment below.

World Cup 'Debut' Patch is Attached to the Boots

Midfielder Luis Romo (31) made a memorable impact in his FIFA World Cup debut, scoring the only goal in Mexico’s 1-0 victory over South Africa. The win also made Mexico the first team to secure a place in the knockout stage.

Making his first-ever World Cup appearance, Luis Romo naturally had the honor of wearing the World Cup “Debut” Patch. Interestingly, however, he chose to attach it to his Tiempo Maestro boots rather than wear it on his shirt sleeve like most other players.
