A sport ball comprising: a casing formed of a plurality of panels (1305, 1310) joined together at a plurality of seams, the plurality of panels (1305, 1310) including a first panel and a second panel joined to the first panel at a seam; and a bladder located within the casing; the first panel including a first outer layer that defines a first indentation in a first exterior surface of the first panel, a first inner layer that defines a first interior surface of the first panel, and a first central layer, a majority of the first outer layer of the first panel being spaced from the first inner layer of the first panel by the first central layer, and the first outer layer of the first panel being directly bonded to the first inner layer of the first panel at the first indentation; and the second panel including a second outer layer that defines a second indentation in a second exterior surface of the second panel, a second inner layer that defines a second interior surface of the second panel, and a second central layer, a majority of the second outer layer of the second panel being spaced from the second inner layer of the second panel by the second central layer, and the second outer layer of the second panel being directly bonded to the second inner layer of the second panel at the second indentation; wherein the first indentation extends proximate to the seam, and the second indentation extends proximate to the seam; and wherein the first indentation is configured to correspond with the second indentation across the seam, wherein the first indentation has an elongate configuration and the second indentation has an elongate configuration, characterized in that the first indentation, which defines a first central simulated panel portion, and the second indentation, which defines a second central simulated panel portion, are arranged to form a pattern extending across the seam. a casing formed of a plurality of panels (1305, 1310) joined together at a plurality of seams, the plurality of panels (1305, 1310) including a first panel and a second panel joined to the first panel at a seam; and a bladder located within the casing; the first panel including a first outer layer that defines a first indentation in a first exterior surface of the first panel, a first inner layer that defines a first interior surface of the first panel, and a first central layer, a majority of the first outer layer of the first panel being spaced from the first inner layer of the first panel by the first central layer, and the first outer layer of the first panel being directly bonded to the first inner layer of the first panel at the first indentation; and the second panel including a second outer layer that defines a second indentation in a second exterior surface of the second panel, a second inner layer that defines a second interior surface of the second panel, and a second central layer, a majority of the second outer layer of the second panel being spaced from the second inner layer of the second panel by the second central layer, and the second outer layer of the second panel being directly bonded to the second inner layer of the second panel at the second indentation; wherein the first indentation extends proximate to the seam, and the second indentation extends proximate to the seam; and wherein the first indentation is configured to correspond with the second indentation across the seam, wherein the first indentation has an elongate configuration and the second indentation has an elongate configuration, characterized in that the first indentation, which defines a first central simulated panel portion, and the second indentation, which defines a second central simulated panel portion, are arranged to form a pattern extending across the seam.
