  • Molten to Supply Official Basketball for Eurobasket 2013 in Slovenia(PDF
    August 31, 2013 R13-SI006 Molten to Supply Official Basketball for EuroBasket 2013 in Slovenia Molten’s GL7 will be the official ball for EuroBasket 2013, which will be held in Slovenia from September 4, 2013 until September 22, 2013. Molten is the exclusive supplier for the international events organized by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) and FIBA Zones. Since their introduction at the 9th World Championships in 1982, Molten basketballs have been widely used as official game balls for a number of international tournaments, including the World Championships and the Olympics. GL7 basketball used at this tournament will feature twelve panels with two-tone coloring; thus making the ball more visible to players and spectators. The new technology adapted in the ball also allows for higher rebound speed and better grip, making games even more exciting. 1 ■ Designed with the Giugiaro Design Team, International Product Designers FIBA regulations previously restricted the design of basketball to 8 ellipsoid panels only, colored orange or brown. However, in June 2004, during a meeting of the Central Board of Directors in Paris, the rule was officially changed to allow 12-panel basketballs in championship games, which became effective on September 1, 2004. Molten collaborated with the international product designers of the Giugiaro Design to create uniquely configured 12-panel basketballs in accordance with the new regulation. The characteristic orange panels and black seams of traditional basketballs did not change. However, two light-colored stripes encircle the ball in accordance with the rule change, thus realizing a higher level of design that fuses tradition and innovation.
