One of them is inspired by the figure of Diego Maradona, with the inclusion of the phrase “the ball does not stain” and an image of the Argentine star lifting the World Cup trophy.
The other ball is inspired by Paolo Rossi, whose portrait was also hand-painted, who is seen lifting the 1982 World Cup trophy (won by Italy).
