    Premier League Unveils New Ball

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Premier League has revealed that it will be using the ‘Nike Total 90 Omni Ball’ for the 2008/09 season, with the manufacturer claiming it to be the ‘most consistent ball ever’.

    Nike promises to ‘provide countless spectacular moments in the new season’ due to its patented technology on the ball.

    The ball is constructed with engineered hexagons and pentagons, with a 360-degree sweet-spot. Advanced technology ensures that all the pieces of the ball are stitched evenly together to make an as-close-to-perfect sphere as possible.

    Nike claims that research has been conducted into its state-of-the-art engineering for the past two years, with experiments being conducted by professional footballers and by laboratory researchers.

    The end result is a ball that pushes the boundaries for consistency, accuracy and visibility, according to the manufacturer.

    The ball will be designed with a red stripe for next season, to help players make split second judgements.

    According to the company: "A new, red asymmetrical band encircling the ball generates a more powerful visual signal as it rotates, providing a quicker read on ball location, spin rate, speed and trajectory from any angle. It's designed to help athletes make better decisions at top-speed, when the pressure is on."</div>

    You'll have to visualize the red stripe.

    Wow! Now I can get a quicker read on ball location, spin rate, speed and trajectory from any angle. I really feel like if I ever played, I'd make better decisions at top-speed, when the pressure is on.

    The black stripe just sucks.
