Aug 23, 2019, by Simon
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 Brazil 2028 Copa America Concept Kit
Following the leak of the Nike 28-29 template, Brazilian kit designer [@felipesilva_dg](https://Sheffield Wednesday) has imagined how the new design could look for the Brazil 2028 Copa America home kit. The concept adapts the leaked template, which was initially showcased in the England Euro 2028 concept, to create a fresh take on the iconic national team shirt.
The Brazil 2028 Copa America concept kit features the traditional yellow base but incorporates a significantly increased amount of blue on the main shirt. This design choice draws inspiration from recent trends seen in the Brazil women's team kits, offering a striking contrast to the more conventional yellow-dominant designs. The new paneling and layout flexibility of the Nike 28-29 template allow for these prominent blue accents to be integrated seamlessly into the overall design.
While this is strictly a fan concept and not an official leak of Brazil's next kit, it provides an interesting glimpse into the possibilities of Nike's upcoming template. The 2028 Copa America is still a couple of years away, but the anticipation for how national teams will utilize the new Nike 28-29 design language is already building.
