The art ball design and donation from U.S. artist Hope Gangloff began as an ink drawing from 1997 of a starry sky. It then evolved into a 10 ft x 7 ft giant painting on linen before it was translated into a limited edition football / soccer ball. The art ball was introduced to coincide with the 2020 American November presidential election. 

“We all have to engage with the government that represents us, otherwise, democracy doesn’t work. Checks and Balances include the eyes of the people,” Hope Gangloff. 

Hope Gangloff’s work is represented by the Susan Inglett Gallery in New York since 2006. Please visit www.hope-gangloff.com. 

We hope you will make this starry ball part of your everyday life.

The Eir Ball Advantage

The alarming trend of injuries among female soccer players inspired Majken Gilmartin in 2008 to take a deeper look at the effect a size 5 soccer ball had on the U15-U21 players she was coaching.

In collaboration with scientists, she embarked on a mission to design a specialized ball for female players to make the game safer and faster. The new design, with its reduced size (4,5) and weight (370g), provides better balance, reduces knee stress, decreases head acceleration during headers, and allows for faster play and longer passes.

In collaboration with UNDP, we created the official SDG ball in 2015, proudly displaying all 17 icons of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Eir's other ball designs promote important causes such as “women's right to vote”, as well as aid to refugee women in Denmark and Afghanistan.
