Premier League 2022/23: Nike reveals new 30th Anniversary Premier League match ball
Suffice to say, the shift has been a roaring success, with England’s top flight becoming the most-watched sports league in the world and widely considered the best altogether when it comes to the entertainment and drama to offer.
To celebrate three decades of Premier League football, Nike have provided a throwback match ball for the 2022/23 season – echoing the design of the very first ball used in the competition, made by Mitre.
Nike’s version carries the same gold graphics and red trim – in an ‘X’ design – as the 1992 version, with the addition of their Aerowsculpt technology in the form of grooves that should produce a truer flight.
The new season will mark Nike’s 23rd term as the official ball supplier for the Premier League, with Mitre fulfilling the role from 1992 to 2000.

The colour scheme of the new ball is likely to bring back nostalgic memories for fans who can remember the 1992-93 season, when Sir Alex Ferguson’s Man United beat Aston Villa to the title by one point.
The new 2022-23 Premier League Ball will be available to buy from July 15 and will be used for the first time when Arsenal meet Crystal Palace on the opening day.
The Gunners travel to Selhurst Park in an evening kick-off as all 20 clubs found out their league schedules on Thursday morning.
The ball was revealed on the same day as the Premier League fixtures for 2022/23, with all 20 teams discovering exactly when and where they will face their biggest challenges next season.
