Nike Tracer 10,000 Football - Limited Edition Premier League Ball
Last week SoccerBible began the countdown to the 10,000th Nike Football Premier League goal, and as we stand on the brink of that landmark goal, our friends at Nike have chosen the SoccerBible to exclusively reveal this commemorative gold edition Nike Tracer ball...
This stunning Gold Nike Tracer Football is a commemorative edition available on a very limited release, and has been unveiled in anticipation of Nike's 10,000th goal hitting the back of the net this weekend. At the time of publishing, the current goal tally stood at 9,995 and with the likes of Didier Drogba, Marouane Chamakh, Fernando Torres and Wayne Rooney in action, Nike are anticipating bursting through the 10,000 goal barrier.
It was way back on August 19th, 2000 when Ipswich Town's Mark Venus scored at White Hart Lane, notching the very first Nike Football Premier League goal. Nike had taken over the sponsorship of the division's football from Mitre, and this goal a decade ago marked the very first to hit the net for the then-revolutionary Nike Geo Merlin football.
It's staggering to think that in a period of just 10 years, a Nike football will have bulged the back of a Premier League net over 10,000 times, and yes a quick calculation makes that 1000 goals a year! To commemorate 10 years of Nike and the Premier League ball, this gold edition Nike Tracer football comes in a stylish presentation box. Both the box and the ball are adorned with the previous incarnations of the EPL ball, such as some old favourites including the Geo Merlin, T90 Aerow and Omni ball.
Despite being a great showpiece item, the Gold Nike T90 Tracer football is actually a playable ball packed with all the performance technologies of the current Premier League, Primera Division and Serie A footballs. But more importantly this ball is a fantastic piece of football memorabilia celebrating a momentous occasion, and SoccerBible will honour the scorer of the 10,000th Premier League goal by presenting them with their very own Gold Nike Tracer football!
All that remains now is to see which match, stadium and player will go down in history as the official scorer of Nike Football's 10,000 Premier League goal. And if you want to celebrate this occasion by getting your own gold Nike Premier League football, there are a very limited number available which are retailing for around £100 GBP.
