Puma EFL 21-22 Ball
This is the football for the Championship, League One and League Two 2021-22 seasons.
The new Puma EFL football is based on the same model as the La Liga one that was released just days ago, Accelerate. It's predominantly white with a black, blue and red upper graphic, taking inspiration from the colors of the league.
As per the announcement, the graphics on the ball "showcase the explosive speed of the ball when moving."
In addition to this white version, there will also be a high-vis version in fluorescent yellow, as well as special versions for the Carabao Cup and Papa John's Trophy.
Ben Hughes, General Manager of PUMA UKI said: “We are delighted to be partnering with the English Football League. Brands always talk about telling stories but there’s no greater story-telling than the drama that unfolds at EFL grounds across England and Wales."
EFL Chief Commercial Officer, Ben Wright, added: “We’re extremely pleased to be partnering with PUMA as our new match ball supplier. As a well-established global brand, we’re excited to see this new product used across all EFL competitions during 2021/22 and in future seasons. PUMA not only partners with Leagues, clubs and players, but further drives the game forward with its impressive grassroots and community work."
A warm and sincere thank you to our historic partners of 45 years @EFL, a journey that has seen some of the most iconic moments in EFL history: goals, saves, tackles and more all made possible by the Mitre ball on the pitch. Many memories made and always to be remembered. pic.twitter.com/6tYDgxHqKG
