For the third season in succession, Umbro will be the Official Ball Supplier for the greatest domestic cup competition in the world and will be introducing the DYNAMIS FLUORO HI-VIZ ball from round one to four of this season’s FA CUP.

FA Cup Umbro Fluoro Ball

The FA Cup is widely renowned as the greatest of all domestic cup competitions and is watched with interest across the globe. The FA Cup is steeped in a rich and illustrious heritage, which dates back over 125 years. The 2008/2009 competition spreads over some 14 rounds, with a staggering 731 teams initially participating.

The new DYNAMIS FLUORO has also been made in an eye catching yellow to benefit both footballers and spectators during the Autumn and Winter months. Under fading light, or artificial light the eye perceives yellow as one of the more optimum colours, therefore making it easier to see under floodlights, or as it starts getting dark.

In development for the last 2 years, the DYNAMIS FLUORO Ball has undergone rigorous testing in both science laboratories and on football pitches by professional players from clubs across the UK. These tests have proven that a new 20-panel configuration is faster than the more traditional 32-panel ball thanks to the reduced curving that the new design provides. Overall this means that the DYNAMIS FLUORO offers unrivalled power and accuracy.

Other product innovations include a new exclusive Teijin micro fibre material providing players with a super soft touch and increased power through greater elasticity and stretch. The DYNAMIS FLUORO is also the first football to use new Tri-Ply bladder technology, designed specifically to increase the power and accuracy of any strike of the ball.
