Match day footballs

[Landells]

Hibs are selling Mitre Revo Footballs on there website for £12.99

Here (http://www.hibsshop.co.uk/cat-43-subcat-249-product-3296)

For £12.99 surely it cant be official matchday balls ?

[CallumLaidlaw]

it says its a training ball

[Landells]

So would it look like that in the picture or cheaper?

[DC_Hibs]

I would guess that it will look exactly like the picture but its not a "matchday" ball as you put it.

Did you try google to get more info on the fitba? If so, you will see that you can get them for under 6quid - not Hibs branded of course - and it gives more info on the ba' spec.

Here to help Flandells........

Are the match balls not about 80 quid?

You can tell the difference in a good quality ball when playing.

I think we'd also see a faster game if we changed the ball we use. IMO the mitre is too slow compared with the nike and addidas balls.

Do we have a contract to say we must use them and for how long?

Almost 70 quid. :greengrin

Training balls tend to be a poorer quality than the MD ball. They'll usually turn to **** after you've played with them for a season if you're lucky.

You ever bought a £3 ball from Soccer Sport. The training ball is usually a better quality but the same thing eventually happens where it just becomes useless.

The matchday ball will last you much longer. That's if it doesn't get kicked over a fence and onto a railway for example. :faf:

£75. Yikes.

I think it was established earlier that the ball on the Hibs Official site was a training ball and not a matchball anyway.

At £75 a pop I would have a rope tied to it. :agree:

What woody said mate the seams burst after a few games


We still talking balls or Nades Yams top? :greengrin

[Landells]

I got an email back from hibs about the ball


Dear Callum
Thank you for your email.
The revo is a replica of the revolve matchday ball which would retail at around £80.00 if sold in the store.
The revo is the same quality of a training ball made from tough pearlised and textured PU/PVC material.
I hope this is of help?

Regards
Richard Alexander
