Orange ball!

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.champ-man (More info?)

Just played a match with Vihren in the Bulgarian in the "B" PFG Division.

The pitch is icey and it's the first time that I've seen an orange ball
be used on FM!

I wonder why the heck they're using yellow balls all over Europe
lately (not on icy pitches).

To sell punters another piece of pointless merchandise. They claim It's
easier to see during winter.

Because in research laboratories they`ve found out that yellow
is the easiest colour for the eye to see. When they add a bright blue
stripe across it, it`s even easier (because of the contrast).

Pink...reading the news now and then..

Was there a problem with footballers actually not seeing the ball?!
It's all just a marketing scam...

Not a BIG difference, but still a difference. I guess this was ment for
games in snowy weather or for smaller clubs with less light on their fields.

Maybe this was the case in Germany, Holland and England, but there's
no reason for a yellow ball in Greece, Italy or Spain. The winter is
not here yet 🙂

That makes no sense. Why would I lock it away if it was my plaything?
