NEW YORK (January 12, 2017) – adidas and Major League Soccer today launched the newly designed NATIVO, the Official Match Ball for the 2017 MLS season.
The most tested MLS ball to date, the structure of the NATIVO features the same innovative and widely-praised panel shape as the Brazuca – a unique symmetry of six identical panels that are thermally-bonded together to keep out moisture. In addition, the ball offers premium surface structure designed to provide improved grip, touch, stability and aerodynamics.
“The 2017 MLS Official Match Ball attests to how year after year adidas Soccer brings the world’s best innovative technology to the field of play,” said Ernesto Bruce, adidas Sr.
