# Co-Branded Soccer Balls adidas and Palace Joined to Release a Ball Inspired by a 1978 Design By Riley von Niessen | Published 2017-11-30 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-and-palace References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/adidas-palace-soccer-ball/#slide-2) & [adidas](http://adidas.com/?dfjnsdf) Those who are looking for a unique gift for the soccer fan in their family or friend group are likely to find the [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-and-mls) and [Palace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palace-and-nike) ball appealing. The exclusive soccer ball features the names and logos of the sportswear giant and the UK-based skate label, with the white background giving the red and black designs plenty of contrast so that they're able to stand out. The ball comes in a matching package that leaves parts of the sides exposed, while giving it a base to stand up on to prevent it from rolling. Due to this, collectors have the option to conveniently leave it on display on a shelf in their home. The adidas and Palace ball is set to release on December 1st, and is available in limited quantities. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Co-branded Products:** Opportunity for businesses to collaborate and create unique, limited edition products that appeal to niche markets. - **Sports Fashion Partnerships:** Potential for sportswear brands and fashion labels to join forces and create exclusive merchandise that caters to the interests of sports enthusiasts and fashion-conscious consumers. - **Collector's Editions:** Demand for limited edition items presents an opportunity for businesses to produce collectible products that target enthusiasts and collectors. ### Where This Applies - **Sportswear:** Collaborations with fashion or lifestyle brands can help sportswear companies reach new customers and tap into different segments of the market. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can expand their offerings and appeal to a wider audience by partnering with established sports brands to create unique products with a sports-inspired aesthetic. - **Collectibles:** Producing limited edition collectible items can be a lucrative venture for businesses, especially in industries such as sports, entertainment, and pop culture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Football Culture-Inspired Athletic Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palace-and-nike.md) - [Football Capsule Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-originals-x-bape.md) - [Vintage Sportswear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-and-mls.md) - [Sportwear Celebrity Fusion Tease](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylrk-x-adidas.md) - [Soccer Jersey-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciagas-soccer-series.md) - [Old-School Soccer Apparel Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/90sinspired-soccer-collection.md) - [Sporty Collaborative Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palace-and-stella-artois.md) - [Deconstructed Eroded Soccer Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deconstructed-soccer-ball.md) - [Collaborative Sporty Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spezial-fc.md)
