For the record, I’m not one of those grumbling traditionalist that believes football should only ever be played in black boots, using a ball that looks like it’s had a hard life and will take a good layer of skin off your forehead should you dare to head it.
With that said, It does seem as though Premier League ball supplier Nike is trying to out do it self when it comes to designing more and more colourful balls that scream “Look, LOOK at me!!”.
The current effort flying around Premier League games looks like a gigantic, futuristic gob stopper.
And next seasons looks like it’s intended purpose is to send you into a deep 90’s induced coma. Which, if proves the case, traditionalist should feel right at home.
