Hi all,
Not sure if anyone will remember, but in the early 80s a ball was used (in the FA Cup FInal I thought) that had a thick red band around it
The red band was horizontal coloured panels with 2 vertical panels on the "face" of the ball where the name and logo were
If anyone can remember it can you let me know what it was called cos I cant find a picture anywhere on the internet of it at all
:y :y
-
I remember that ball!!!........i had one! ;D
my pals and i played all day every day with that ball.....sorry,aint got a clue who made it.
-
just thinking tho......there wouldnt have been as many manufacturers or balls used back then would there? maybe worth checking the likes of adidas/nike/mitre websites,they must have history of the more "famous" balls made?
-
a mitre delta rings a bell,most likly wrong answer,but who knows :-/
-
Yep I thought it was Mitre, the Delta was out a bit later than this ball though
As mentioned above, we spent many many hours knocking one of these around and I would love to find one somewhere
It was a lovely looking ball for it's time! :)
