Official Footballs For The 2016/17 Seasons Released

 

Nike have released their official footballs for the 2016/17 seasons in the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A. The company have gone for a colourful theme for all three match balls for the upcoming season, with multi-coloured segments surrounding the respective league badges.

It is a departure from the strong block colours used in each league last term, with live Premier League and La Liga games continuing on Sky Sports next season where the footballs will be in action. Nike have also introduced their new technology which has been based around the three key elements of construction, material and graphics. 

Describing the new balls in more detail, the nike.com website says: “A new wrapped bladder system ensures the smoothest and most consistent surface - delivering optimal touch and accurate flight. The geometric 12 panel fuse-welded construction employs a new 3D printed ink technique. Finally, the ball's graphics follow the design principle of 'Flow Motion', applying a luminance that ensures excellent visibility while the ball is in play.”
