The Mitre Delta ain't just a football. It's more than a bag of air, it's a bag of memories. Bringing back the iconic Delta ball design as the official match ball of the 2017/18 English Football League season was always going to go down well. Complete with oversized Mitre branding, it's a modernised piece of throwback football.

A late-nineties Premier League 'pin up' has found its way into the Championship, League One and League Two this season with a re-designed look.A new generation can now appreciate a ball full of 90's magic. ..... the PR team tell us.The Mitre Delta has obviously been updated for its return with Hyperseam () technology for a pure in-flight path and increased grip (keepers error,Mmm) so it's as good as it gets for an elite level football; for those who had one in the nineties, fear not. This one won't knock you out when full of water the 'hard sell' informs us in these times of is heading a ball dangerous scenario.I note this plastic ball has foam padding under its surface too.

This is the ball that Pep Guardiola was critical of when moaning to the press after City had been taken to penalties at Wolves in the cup this season stating it was to light weight for his players to perform with ...........

Well, I can still recall playing footie with my brothers using the dreaded orange Wembley Trophy ball circa early 70's and as I was always put in goal it bloody hurt when my brothers 'performed' with it in my direction Pep .............

Does he have a point tho' ? Should all pro football use the same ball in competition or is it Bollux ?
Obviously Felix WILL have an opinion on the matter won't he .......
