I Used every Football Product from the last 100 YEARS

The video begins with a journey through the evolution of football products over the past century. The first product tested is a heavy, brown leather football from the 1930s, which quickly doubles in weight when wet, making it difficult to kick. The discomfort and bulkiness of football boots from the same era are highlighted, with a humorous take on the challenge of performing skills in them. The video then fast forwards to the 1960s, noting the introduction of goalkeeper gloves, which were a significant upgrade from bare hands, although still had room for improvement. By 1962, boots had improved in design, becoming sleeker, although they were still stiff and size differences made them difficult to wear. The evolution continues with the introduction of the Adidas Tango ball in 1978 and the iconic Adidas copper mundal boot in 1979, which was softer and more comfortable than its predecessor. The narrative progresses through the 1990s, where the quality of footballs seemed to decline with the M Pro Max, and the release of the Nike Mercurial boots in 1998, which were lightweight and ahead of their time. The video concludes with a look at football products post-millennium, including the Nike T90 boots in 2004, the Adidas Predator Mania in 2006, and the innovative sock boots like the Nike Magista in 2014. The summary ends with a look at the Adidas laceless boot in 2016 and the modern, lightweight boots of 2023, which are great for skills but less comfortable for shooting on cold days.

The video script discusses the significant changes in football balls and goalkeeper gloves. It starts with the Nike T90 AOW ball from 2005, which was one of the Premier League's most iconic footballs and is highly valued. The Predator Mania boots are mentioned as one of the greatest football boot releases of all time. The Jabulani ball, known for its controversial movement, is highlighted as the most recognizable football from the 2010 World Cup. The video then shifts to the 2014 World Cup, where a new ball was introduced that was voted a fan favorite. Innovations in football boots are discussed, such as the introduction of sock boots by Nike in 2014, which changed the design philosophy of football boots. The retirement of the Adidas Predator boot, an iconic model, and its controversial replacement in 2015 is also covered. The return of the Predator model due to fan demand is noted. The video touches on the introduction of Adidas' laceless football boot in 2016, which was stylish but uncomfortable. Goldie gloves are revisited in 2018, with their significant improvement over the 1960s version. The Aler ball, used in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, is praised for its quality and design. The video concludes with a look towards the future, speculating on what football products might look like in 2024 and beyond, with a nod to the nostalgia factor driving the remake of old boots like the Predators.
