Nike have unveiled their new football which will be used in the Premier League next season, but it may take some getting used to.
The new 'Flight' will be used for the 2020-21 campaign and features ridges not too dissimilar to a golf ball on its surface as part of a radical new design.
According to Nike, the concept is to stop the unpredictable motion of the ball once it has been kicked, which is potentially bad news for free-kick takers whose technique is based around the wobble of the ball in mid-air to confuse goalkeepers.
Nike's new ball is not focused on stopping free-kick takers though. It could in fact help dead ball specialists who opt for precision and accuracy.
They claim the Flight is more consistent when kicked thus reducing the chances of long balls going to waste, set-pieces going astray or even shots from missing the target.

I’m surprised you talking about rubber here. This is Nike and PL we talking about. You think PL will accept any ball?

I couldn't imagine anyone would be happy having to adapt to a new ball as different as that. The ridges would make skills and touches way more different, and every corner, free kick, clearance, and goal kick would be very different.

Although the ball is same, but the one used for PL games will have it's own design. Here's the leaked image

Bad idea this will ruin the game, spontaneous movement is what help make this game beautiful. Do they mess around with Basket Ball balls like this. They trying too hard to Americanized our game. predictable and ridged.
