I bought one of the replica Champions League balls a couple of years ago. Definitely well made and great for kickarounds but it eventually wore out after a couple seasons of abuse. The one I had
was the plain and simple old black and white star-paneled style.

I have to say I much prefer that to the coloration of this ball. The old black-and-white ones are almost a novelty now as you rarely see a ball that doesn’t have some sort of bright color on it these days. Now I’m just sounding old…next thing you know I’ll be suggesting they bring back the old leather balls that soaked up water like a sponge
