Thats the la liga ball for next season. hence the la liga symbol on it and the barcelona player playing with it. but the epl ball will be the same design just a different color probably a lighter blue like last year.

I saw a replica one a week ago, and I like the way the lines flow on it compared to the old one. It's only slightly different...but different nonetheless...

It does look quite cool, but I'm not too much of a fan of balls with designs that aren't very symmetrical or that detract from the actuall shape of the ball. When I am about to take a free-kick I like to focus on the whole shape of the ball and of course the point I will hit...but I suppose it wouldn't be too bad when i am actually with the ball:o

Its designed like that to help keepers (and the TV cameras) so see the flight of the ball better i think. Its not bad but i think i prefer the ones from last season.
All they have done is change the colour as la liga had the like orange rings and the prem had the blue.

I didsagree sanchy, if u line it up with the logo facing u, it looks like a 2d circle, which accentuates the sweet spot in my mind.
Also, the circular lines can make a ball look awesome when rotating round it's axis on slowmo swerve shots on TV!

i dont get the design.... where do the lines join and stuff? i was looking at the 2 different angle pics of the ball, and tbh im flabbergasted.. haha trivial to the most of u guys, but i really wanna kno how the ball looks like all-round... still confused as to where the lines meet... gotta wait for it to arrive or be used in an actual game, i guess.. :p
