Шаблон:Infobox product Adidas Tricolore (Шаблон:IPA-fr) was the official match ball of 1998 FIFA World Cup in France.[1] The Tricolore was officially unveiled in December 1997, being the first colorized ball used in a FIFA World Cup.[2]
Overview
The tricolour flag and cockerel, traditional symbols of France were used as inspiration for the design. Made by Adidas, it was the first multi-coloured ball to be used in the tournament's final stage and was also the final World Cup ball to bear the classic Tango design, introduced in the 1978 tournament. The design of blue triads decorated with cockerel motifs was adopted to represent the colours of the flag of France.[3][4] Tricolore was also the first Adidas World Cup match ball manufactured outside of Europe (made in Morocco & Indonesia) since the 1970 Adidas Telstar. "Tricolore" means "three-colored" in French.
More than twenty roughs had been proposed by the Adidas design team before the definitive version was approved. The aim was to amalgamate symbols of the French culture and heritage, adopting the colors used in the French Revolution. The Gallic rooster and the TGV were some of the symbols chosen to represent the French identity on the ball.[2]
