Official FIFA 1950 World Cup ball in Brazil

Super Duplo T model

Ball used in the 1950 World Cup in Brasil. It was well-know as Super Duplo T. It consisted of 12 panels. This model was the first one which did not have any sewing with laces out the ball. , that is to say, it was inflated as the current balls, thanks to a valve. It had a current bladder/ valve. It was made of real leather. Nowardays there are a few models which hold still printed the lettering "Superball Double T", because the lettering is erased with the time. The ball was less dangerous to be beaten with head due to it did not have any laces out. With older models players were able to have serious injuries in their heads when they hit the ball with the head. Even they could bleed. Although the Super Duplo T ball also consisted of 12 panels, do not be confused with the 1930 twelve panels ball. There are two big differences, the first one is that the ball had a sewing with laces out the ball to access and to inflate the bladder. The second difference was that its panels were sewed in a intertwined way. Available at store.
