Currently the football used in the Eircom League is the(correct me if im wrong)Umbro one. However in recent competitions such as Euro 2004 the adidas Roteiro has been introduced and is used in quite a few European leagues such as the French and Portugese league.
Should the Eircom League follow suit ? Personally I think they should !
A bit about the ball....
Product Details
The adidas® Roteiro 2004 EURO Match soccer ball is a 32-panel, revolutionary Dassler ball featuring thermal-bonding technology. The high-tech, abrasion-resistant soft polyurethane layering system includes a soft and consistent outer cover and allows for smooth, predictable ball contact.
The Roteiro is named after the log book used by Vasco de Gama, the famous Portugese discoverer. The dynamic design features an aqua metallic base colour which represents the sky, a sky blue globe colour, reminiscent of the sea , and silver lines to signify the coordinate system.
It's not the ball, jollyrodger, it's the person thats playing with the balls
the FAI are sponsored by UMBRO,hence the use of their ball
Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?
Well I still think the Addidas ball would be better. Cant see Addidas sponsoring EL anytime soon though !
more should be done to encourage companies like addidas to loin in with the el sponsors. most ordinary people in the street couldn't tell you what sort of business flancare are in. what good is advertising if people don't no what your advertising?
