Iconic Premier League ball to return for Villa vs Liverpool

6 days ago 6

Nike have released a remake of an iconic Premier League ball that will be used for the first time when Aston Villa host leaders Liverpool on Wednesday.

Puma are set to become the official ball supplier of the top flight from the 2025-26 season, bringing an end to Nike's 25-year reign - and they are signing off in style.

Nike have released an updated version of the T90 Aerow I, which was used during the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons, to replace the current Hi-Vis winter ball for the rest of the season as the Premier League heads into spring.

The new Premier League ball to be used until the end of the season

The throwback colourway sees a classic all-white base, paired with some small added details to the classic T90 blue rings.

The Nike Flight ball, which has been used throughout this season, is said to deliver a "truer flight" due to grooves debased into the casing, allowing the air to travel seamlessly around it, and is crafted with a shorter seam length to allow for a sweeter touch.

Chelsea fans will be particularly excited to see the ball return after winning back-to-back Premier League titles with it under Jose Mourinho.
