It's small and probably nitpicky, but does it bug anyone else how plain the MLS's ball design is? The balls from the World Cup and a lot of the other leagues are much nicer looking. Why not a more 'professional' ball design?

The fans, myself included, voted on that ball a couple of years ago on mlsnet.com.

The league had an ugly, volleyball lookalike ball in its initial years, and many of us were hungry for a return to the basics.

Its a great ball design i hope they dont change it the ball has a classical look, personaly i think the world cup ball was ugly this year hope they go back to the old addidas look.

I think I agree with this.

the current MLS ball design is very good

this year's WC design was very bad

Weird. I really can't stand the MLS ball design, and I really liked the WCs design this year.

I do like it alright up close but on tv I hate it. =x

I dont like the curren MLS balls' design. I didn't care for the Fevernova much. I like the 6-panel ball.
