Hello. Today I receive my Adidas Jabulani and I must to know is it fake. I'm worried about seams, which ones are under outside coating of ball. Also phrase "official match ball" is too close to groove. Isn't it?

Please, help me identify, that this ball is original. Thanks a lot for advance!
Its looks real to me.. The first pic you took on the blank spot.. is normal to see.. The valve point on where you put the ball pump into should be indented a little bit. The ball is not perfectly round when deflated and mine looks the same.. Unless my a fake too.. Wahhh !!! But I have the champions league final ball as well and its the same shape when deflated as well.
Thanks for reply. I don't have attentions for design details, but I'm worried about pentagonal shapes under outside coating.(best shoot in first picture) Is it ball bladder? If it's the same like in original balls, I'm sure, that I have original ball..
Its real. And in future can you not start new threads and post in the ball thread that is already set up please. It stops cluttering up the board. appleCORR
Hey guys! Sorry for posting in an old topic but I'm still new to the forum and I don't think I'm allowed to make topics yet and this is the one of the biggest forums I've found for football equipment. Almost a month ago I ordered Brazuca top replica ball via ebay. Today it has arrived, I opened the box and saw that there was the official match ball instead of the replica ball. It had the fifa A approved logo, the surface was not smooth like the one on the replica and it had official match ball written on it. Anyway I'm not sure if it's real or not. It bounces a bit strange, like a wet ball and it's not that soft. I have an adidas Champions league ball from the 2009 final and I compared it with the Brazuca. Can anyone tell me if I own the official Brazuca ball? Here are some pics:
I have a genuine Official Brazuca that cost big bucks and there are numerous differences. So either yours or mine is a fake but I'm guessing it's yours ⚽️
