With each new football season comes a brand new football – it’s time to welcome the official Premier League ball (as well as some of the other best leagues in the World) – Nike T90 Seitiro.
The Nike T90 Seitiro and will be used for the 2011 / 12 season in the English Premier League, the Serie A, La Liga, the Asian Champions League, the Asian Cup of federations and the Copa Libertadores.
Whilst this is still essentially the same ball as it’s predecessors – the Ascente and the Tracer – the big sell this season is Nike RaDaR technology, which stands for Rapid Decisive and Response.
Nike have preached the benefit of visual performance for nearly 18 months, and now they have named RaDaR as the standard for such technology.
After extensive on-pitch testing with some of the best footballers in the world, and lab testing with some of Nike’s finest minds, Nike think the Nike T90 Seitiro represents the best the combination of graphic design and contrast creates an optimal visual signal picture on pitch.
Which in short, means Nike RaDaR allows players to make faster decisions on the pitch and stay ahead of the pace of the game.

Nike T90 Seitiro will launch in conjunction with it’s Copa America Debut and be available as of the 1st of July costing around £90.
basically the same ball but different colours and no t90 sign judging your pictures, but hey if something is not broken why fix it?
Actually it’s just called Nike Seitiro without any T90.;)
If you read the this article properly, on more than one occassion it says the name of the ball is Nike Seitiro T90 cleverclogs
You just said it before..there is no T90 sign, because there’s no T90 in the ball’s name., even though they write it here. Just wanted to mention it. Easy, ha? You should think first before you write..just a tip. ;)Â
so it’s the same ball as the T90 tracer but with different colours. i really cant see how a soccer ball can cost them that much so they have to sell it at $150. although i do have the tracer and i admit it’s the best ball i’ve played with but i’m not going to buy any new nike ball with the tracer/ascente design. one is enough!
I agree $150 is a lot for a soccer ball but the quality is really amazing on the tracer balls. I bought two about a month ago since they were on sale for $25 at a Nike factory outlet.
I was going to comment on the first part of your sentence, but then I suppose saying “$150 is a lot for a soccer ball” is the same as saying “ÂŁ90 is a lot for a football” lol
And man, what a lucky duck you are, that’s quite the steal you landed yourself there.

What are your thoughts on the difference between this one and the Adidas Champions League final ball ?
Adidas sucks D*CK and nike eats Pus*y the chose is yours.
ugly. it looks like somebody started draewing flames on it and got bored halfway through
The La Liga ball looks ridiculously hot. Though, I wonder what pattern they’ll use on the Hi-Vis balls. These patterns would look hideous on those.
