Derbystar Eredivisie 20-21 Ball Released - Designed By Music Labels Top Notch and Noah's Ark

The official Dutch Eredivisie 2020-21 football was revealed today. The new Eredivisie 20-21 ball is again made by Select (Derbystar).

Music labels Top Notch and Noah's Ark are this year's designers of the official Derbystar Eredivisie ball. Top Notch & Noah's Ark are together the fourth guest designer of the Eredivisie ball. Henk Schiffmacher kicked off the new edition in 2017 to celebrate 60 years of the Eredivisie. This was followed by Johnny de Mol and the Rijksmuseum.

The design features a team of talented Dutch hip-hop artists on stage. In this way, the ball takes a leap from the classical arts - at the previous edition Rembrandt's etchings decorated the leather - to a new generation of artists.

On the ball, called 'The Promises', portraits of Yade Lauren, S10, Delany, Mensa, Lucass, Philly More, Caza, Jack, Wally A$M, Sor and ADF Samski can be found.

"All of them artists that Top Notch and Noah's Ark believe will make it in 2020/21," says Vincent Patty of Top Notch & Noah's Ark. "They all have their own style, sound, background and story, but at the same time they also have something in common: a talent and the inexhaustible dedication to realize their dream".

For Patty, also known by his stage name Jiggy Djé, the Eredivisie's request to work together soon felt self-evident. "The Dutch hip-hop and football culture are closely connected in several ways. For example, friendship and cross-fertilization between artists and footballers in the Netherlands is a natural phenomenon. And in both music and sports, promises with a dream don't matter where you come from, who you are, who you love or what you have on the couch - all that matters is what you show on the pitch or on stage".

Tech-wise, the new Derbystar Brillant APS Eredivisie 20-21 ball is the same as last season and the same as the Derbystar Bundesliga ball.
