Bristol Rob Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Appears that Mitre have been replaced by Puma as the match-ball supplier for the EFL next season. Wonder if that will help? #clutchingatstraws For those who like pictures of balls from days gone by, you might like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Be adidas, as usual, in the Euros and Olympic Games. I wonder if that gives countries where adidas make the ball used in domestic competitions - like Argentina - an advantage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ball for the Euros isn't painted to look like a virus then they've really missed a trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Adidas Tango being used on the artificial surface at Kenilworth Road. I'd guess circa 1988. Jan Molby in the background looking like the menacing lump he was!

Lack of Action Man Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Mitre balls are generally crap compared to Nike ones. Unlikely to get Nike in the EFL as they already sponsor the prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agard Days Night Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Was always partial to a Mitre Delta. The Magma in particular was a delight. The Mouldmaster however was only really good for inflicting pain. You won’t be at all surprised to know my favourite ball of all time is the France 98 Adidas Tricolore, very nice design and really well weighted for a free kick. Can’t say I’ve ever even seen a Puma ball before (apart from maybe a few mixed in with Lonsdale ones in the giant baskets at Sports Direct?) so this is unchartered territory really. Will keep an open mind and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED4LIFE Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Pah. If you haven't been hit in the thigh or the ear on a really cold day by a rubber Rucanor football then you haven't ever known what pain really is about. I'm surprised that I still don't have the dimple marks on my legs like some kind of weird 80's football tattoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
