Abstract:
A sport ball includes a casing formed from a plurality of panels joined together at a plurality of seams. Each of the plurality of panels has (a) a first layer formed from a polymer material and positioned to form a portion of an exterior surface of the sport ball; (b) a second layer formed from a polymer foam material and positioned inward and adjacent to the first layer; (c) a third layer positioned inward and adjacent to the second layer; and a thickness. The first layer of at least one of the plurality of panels defines a first indentation therein. The first layer is bonded directly to the third at the first indentation, and the first indentation extends through an entirety of the thickness. The sport ball also includes a bladder located within the casing.
