New balls please

[PurpleRain]

New EFL ball. Preferred the look of the mitre ones but at least this looks better than last season’s…

 

[Wards]

The EFL not having Mitre balls doesn't seem reyt at all

 

[Ivanhoe]

For some reason I always associate that manufacturer with ‘the pigs’, and I don’t know why???

 

[Flumps]

The EFL not having Mitre balls doesn't seem reyt at all

All the players still walking is wrong enough. When I kick a mitre ball I expect 3 generations of my family to have a broken foot.

Puma must have thrown some money at it to get rid of Mitre. I don't see what they gain either, it's not a kid goes out and says "dad can I have the latest EFL ball for my birthday?" is it? They want the WC and PL ones if anything,

On the inner thigh from 2 yards away on a crisp December morning, people pay a dominatrix to do a lot less!

I've still got that mark on my thigh from when I had one twatted at me from point blank range during a Sunday league match played on a 2 inch carpet of snow in the middle of January in 1995

No teams I ever played for had one but this was what you needed.......

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Still my Favourite

The Mitre Delta Premier League was a thing of beauty.

As long as it finishes up in the back of the opposition net I'm not bothered.

I liked this one from the 1980s. It looked oval when it was rolling around

That ball looked good but behaved like a ten bob swizzer!

People eh? You made the comment. At least own it!

 

[JosteinFlo]

Anyone seen the new premier league Nike ball with a nod to the old mitre ones?

 

[PurpleRain]

Some great balls (in Subbuteo version)

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Going back further we have the king of street footballs !! Everything was great until it bounced down the road under a car and ended up with an egg in it ……

The old Multiplex, single bladder, over-pumped by enthusiastic football coaches and games teachers until there was simply no 'give in the leather.

Get that in this face and thar't sparked out for a month wi't print on this for-heeeard

That’s Adolf Di Canio

 

[Sithblade]

Do they still make unpoppable footballs? You'd get your compass at school and spend ages stabbing the ball.
