Nike Merlin Serie A 19-20 Ball Revealed
After already being in use for several months since the start of pre-season, Nike and Serie A today decided to present the league's new 2019-20 football. The new Nike Merlin football introduces an interesting look with details in navy and yellow while retaining the features of its predecessor.
Nike Merlin Serie A Ball 2019-20 - White / Navy / Yellow
This is the new Nike 2019-2020 Merlin Serie A ball.
The new Serie A ball brings a fresh new look that sees different panels colored in navy and yellow, with the oversized Swooshes also carrying the base color white with a black border. A large Serie A logo sits inside a white panel, surrounded by a stunning splatter graphic.
Unlike its Premier League counterpart before, the Nike Merlin Serie A 2019-2020 ball does not feature a custom, modular design but instead is based on the default colorway of the new Merlin.
Tech-wise, the new Nike Merlin ball is the same as one used in the previous season.
Nike Merlin Serie A 19-20 Ball - Features
