With November almost starting, the temperature has dropped, you know winter is coming. Another sure sign: European soccer leagues switch over to brighter, high-visibility match balls. The new Nike Premier League Flight 2021-22 hi-vis ball, which features a design inspired by comic books and pop art, the ball has a yellow base and is covered with blue swirls and red circles. All the graphics feature polka dot patterns and thick black outlines. Text and Nike logos on the ball are white with thick black drop shadows, adding to the comic book feel.
So the design, and to bring it into reality Nike have opted to look to the iconic panelling of comic books – the place where superheroes debuted way before the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the like. The organic connectivity that formed the basis of the standard match ball for 21/22 is continued here, with each Of the four panels remaining different, while all staying connected.
The organic base wraps the ball and links the 12 signal pods that offer optimal flicker and colour optimisation, but now they're coloured after the bright images of the Golden Age of comic books, which took place from 1938 to 1956. The ball marking based on the regular version of the Nike Flight Premier League football has been using since August.
