TheNike Ordem is abrand ofassociation footballs designed byNike.[1] The ball consists of 12 panel in a three-layer casing system,[2] with traditional hexagonal and pentagonal patch patterns, similarly toAdidas' classic 1970Telstar design.[3]
The Ordem, released in 2014, is the first Nike football to have panels bonded together, rather than stitched. It is claimed to be rounder and to perform more uniformly regardless of where it is hit, and being almostwaterproof. Another change introduced by the Ordem was its decorative drawing, named "Radar Rapid Decision and Response", to make the ball more visible for players during the game.[4]
Variations of the design have been produced for various competitions including thePremier League (since 2015),[5][2]Serie A,La Liga,[4]Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, theNational Women's Soccer League, the2015 AFC Asian Cup, the2015 Copa Libertadores,2015 Copa América (Nike Cachaña) andCopa América Centenario (Nike Ordem Ciento).
