With Nike celebrating 20 years in partnership with the Premier League, the sportswear giants will relaunch what proved to be one of the most iconic balls in the English game. Check it out!
The ball in question is known as the Geo Merlin, and was introduced as a Premier League ball back in the 2000/01 playing season.
A total of 992 goals were scored with the Geo Merlin by superstars such as Arsenal legend Thierry Henry and former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, who will certainly remember the ball fondly.
In honour of the Geo Merlin, Nike will relaunch an identical limited edition anniversary ball!
