Local Signage and Graphics Business Partners with Sporting Goods Powerhouse to
Bring the Official Game Ball to Kansas City Ahead of North American Host Events
KANSAS CITY – Image360 Kansas City Midtown, a leading provider of signage and visual
communication solutions, has completed a large-scale Ferris wheel installation in anticipation of
the FIFA World Cup coming to host cities across North America next year. The project,
completed in partnership with Adidas and SCHEELS Sporting Goods, helped build excitement
around the launch of the official match ball that will be used during the 2026 tournament via an
in-store display.
The installation features a striking, oversized replica of a soccer ball integrated into a Ferris
wheel structure, with the ball designed to rotate in sync with the wheel itself. Produced in
precisely measured “pie piece” graphic panels to match the wheel’s dimensions, the display
serves as both a bold branding statement and a tribute to the host cities throughout the
continent, celebrating the world’s most popular sport. Using advanced production techniques
and high-performance materials, Image360 Kansas City Midtown delivered a visually dynamic
installation built to capture attention inside Kansas City’s SCHEELS Sporting Goods store.
“This project was a remarkable experience for our team and we were honored to be a part of it,”
said Charles Payne, owner of Image360 Kansas City Midtown. “To be trusted with bringing such
an iconic symbol to life pushed us to combine creativity, precision and technical problem-solving
in a meaningful way. This installation doesn’t just transform the Ferris wheel—it channels the
passion and excitement building around the world-stage event to residents and visitors here in
Kansas City. And the best part is that this is only the beginning. We’re already working on a new
version that will debut ahead of the 2026 matches, and we hope each installation continues to
spark pride and excitement throughout our community.”
