How it works

1. Upload your 360° image — 2:1 equirectangular .JPG or .PNG, up to 40 MB. From any 360° camera (Insta360, DJI, Ricoh, GoPro) or rendered software (Unreal, Unity, Blender).

2. Choose your sports overlay — Basketball, baseball, or soccer. We blend your panorama with the iconic ball pattern so the result reads as both your image and the sport.

3. We hand-sew it in Quebec — Each cover is cut and stitched in our studio using the Fit2Hug™ pattern. One piece of stretch fabric, four vertical seams, no panels.

4. DHL Express to your door — Made-to-order production takes about 2 weeks. U.S. and international shipments go via DHL Express.

The 500-year-old problem of wrapping a sphere

Cartographers, sailmakers, and ball manufacturers have wrestled with the same puzzle since the Renaissance: how do you wrap a flat material around a sphere without distortion or wrinkles?

Every globe and every traditional ball you've ever seen is built from curved segments — gore panels, pentagons, basketball channels — because for centuries that was the only way it could be done. The flat-to-curved problem was solved by adding more seams, not fewer.

The Fit2Hug™ pattern is our answer. One piece of stretch fabric. Four vertical seams. Up to 80% fewer seams than traditional sewn globes — preserving your image with far fewer interruptions. Inspired by the way petals open in nature, the pattern was designed and refined in our Quebec studio.

The sports overlay sits on top of your panorama, blending the iconic ball graphics with your imagery — so the result reads as both your image and the sport at the same time.

Frequently asked

I don't have a 360° camera. Can I still order?
Yes — many of our customers send us renders, AI-generated panoramas, drone stitches, or commissioned panoramic photography. As long as the file is 2:1 equirectangular .JPG or .PNG, we can sew it. Email us if you'd like help finding the right format.

How long does it take?
Around 2 weeks from order to your door. Production is the bulk of that time; DHL Express delivery is fast (often 2–5 days once shipped).

Can I use this cover on an actual playable ball?
This is a decorative cover, not a sport surface. The fabric and overlay are designed for display and commemorative use — over a ball, sphere, or lamp form. For gameplay, use your regular ball.

Can you do team logos or brand graphics?
Yes — bake them into your 360° image before uploading, or email us at info@spheroman.com for a custom design quote.

Can I return it?
Each cover is made to your specifications, so returns aren't available. If there's a defect in the fabric or sewing, we'll remake it at no charge.

What file format do you need?
2:1 equirectangular .JPG or .PNG, up to 40 MB. This is the native output of every consumer 360° camera and most VR/3D rendering software.
