Just like the Premier League, the Serie A will switch to a 'winter ball' shortly. Here are the first leaked pictures of the 2019-20 Serie A winter football, which will be used from late October until March next year.
Nike Merlin Serie A 19-20 Winter Ball
This picture shows the Nike Serie A 2019-2020 winter football.
Based on the default 19-20 template, the Serie A winter swaps the white of the regular version for hi-vis yellow, while the splatter graphic appears in purple and orange.
Unlike its Premier League counterpart before, the Nike Merlin Serie A 2019-2020 winter ball does not feature a custom, modular design but instead is based on the default colorway of the new Merlin.
Tech-wise, the new Nike Merlin ball is the same as one used in the previous season.
