The Top Star ball had a popular design, it was similar to the balls of the time, however, on this ball there were long and short panels, elegantly alternated between them : two short panels in the midst of two long panels and the inflation valve was in the center of one short panel. This ball brought technological developements as well, these leather balls were treated with a waterproofing wax, making the balls more water resistant. The balls used in the 1958 World Cup were yellow, light brown or white. In matcheswhen it was rainy or a little wet (just like in the final between Brazil and Sweden) the white ones were used.
