The New Mitre Tensile

With the new football season just days away, Mitre, the worlds oldest football brand has launched the new TENSILE ball. Comprised of just 10 panels and with 30% less stitching it has been developed to optimise power and efficiency while also improving airflow and reducing drag on the ball.

This increases the average speed of a shot, making it a strikers dream. The ball is the first of its kind and will be used in all Football League and Scottish Premier League (SPL) matches from the beginning of the 2010/11 season.TENSILE’s graphic design is completely unique with each of the 72 Football League clubs and 12 SPL Clubs for the new season each having their own matchballs printed in club colours and their club  badge .

The new revolutionary design delivers greater stability and better aerodynamics than ever before, and will retail at £74.99.
