Where to buy it?
The ball will be available to buy from the official Nike website – this coming Friday, November 5.
Nike has been the official Premier League ball manufacturer since the 2000/2001 season. Prior to that, the Premiership/Premier League ball was manufactured by Mitre.
Nike started things off with the Merlin, before delivering the Total 90, Seitiro, Maxim, Incyte, Ordem, back to the Merlin, and finally the current Nike Flight.
Which team will play the 1st match with the new ball?
The new Nike Winter Flight Ball is expected to be out in the Matchweek 12 of the Premier League 2021/22 season. The first match will be Chelsea vs Leicester City so the Premier League fans can expect the ball to be unveiled at Stamford Bridge when the Blues host the Foxes.
Nike Ball Design
The Nike Flight was designed with “molded grooves and a grippy texture” in order to reduce unexpected movement and “help you put the ball where you want it.”
If previous years are anything to go by, the yellow winter Nike ball is expected to be used from the end of November to the end of February.
