Total 90 Logo: Nike Merlin Premier League 19-20 Winter Ball Released
The Nike Merlin 2019-20 Premier League 'Hi-Vis' winter ball was officially released today. It's inspired by the iconic first Total 90 ball model and will be used during the upcoming months.
Nike Merlin Premier League 19-20 Winter Ball - Hi-Vis Yellow / Blue
This is the brand-new Nike Premier League Merlin Hi-Vis soccer ball.
Roughly based on the league-exclusive upper design found on the regular 2019-20 Nike Premier League football, this one comes with a different coloring.
The way the blue band wraps around the upper of the ball is inspired by a couple of classic balls from the 'Total 90' era and this is further evidenced by the fact that the iconic T90 logo makes an appearance next to the league emblem.
Tech-wise, the new Nike Merlin 2019-2020 winter ball is the same as one used in the previous season.

Schlotterbeck Deliberately Wears His Football Socks the Wrong Way Round
Borussia Dortmund and Germany defender Nico Schlotterbeck has a very specific habit regarding his matchday attire. The centre-back deliberately wears his football socks the wrong way round - the back is on the front, and the front is on the back.
In 2025, the Borussia Dortmund & Germany center back once told SPORT1 that this was one of his unique habits.
