What fruit is the mascot of Spain 1982 World Cup?

Spain 1982 World Cup mascot image is orange.

The mascot of Spain 1982 World Cup is Naranjito, whose name comes from Spanish oranges. Spaniards love oranges, and even use oranges to express their love. China called his lover "my other half", while the Spanish used "half an orange" to express their romance with the other half.

The mascot of the Spain 1982 World Cup has also changed from the previous figure to a fruit, which is an orange rich in Spain. Naranjito's right hand rested on her hips, her left hand held a football, and she wore the traditional uniform of the Spanish national team. The way she smiled also reflected the enthusiasm and generosity of the Spanish people.

Design concept:

Naranjito takes an innocent personified orange as a model, with an orange leaf on her head, curved eyebrows, big eyes, handsome nose and a classic V-shaped smiling face, which shows the designer's peaceful, optimistic, friendly and lively creativity. Naranjito embraced a football, and the connotation of enthusiasm, sunshine and sportsmanship was clearly reflected.

Naranjito's upper body is designed as a sportswear in the color of the Spanish flag, with red representing concierge and yellow representing yellow sand, which embodies the heroic and tenacious spirit of the Spanish people. Naranjito's trousers are blue shorts, and his socks are red and yellow, which are also the colors of the socks of the Spanish national team.

It is worth mentioning that Naranjito's sneakers, although not kicking, can clearly see the styles of six studs, which are quite different from the styles of five studs of 1978 Argentine World Cup mascots. It is from this time that six-spike shoes are accepted by more and more football practitioners and gradually become the main design of mainstream sporting goods companies in the world.
