Hi. I am trying to locate a few footballs produced by Mitre Sports and used by the NZ national team or NZ league during the late 90s/early 00s.

The first was probably used in the domestic NZ league circa 1996-1998. It says "UItimax" and "Soccer New Zealand":

The second ball is probably the NZ domestic league ball for 1998-2000 and says "UItimax" and "New Zealand":

The third was used by the New Zealand national team (and smaller Island nations playing their games in NZ) during the 2002 World Cup Qualifiers and in the domestic league. It says "UItimax" and "New Zealand":

It has the "New Zealand Soccer" logo:

I am willing to offer significant money for these footballs. Does anybody have one, or know anyone with one? Can you please send me a private message to my inbox if you do?

Thanks in advance,

Guys, just bumping this topic. I am offering very good money for these footballs, definitely in someone's best interests to ask around if they can find any of them.

What other places, besides this forum, could I use to reach football/soccer enthusiasts in New Zealand?

Facebook/Twitter pages, messageboards to try and locate these footballs?

I remember stealing on those Ultimax balls from an NZ/Aus U20 match at Bill McKinley Park in like 2002/2003? Good balls, bet NZ Football would have liked it back.

Think the chances of one that old turning up is pretty slim.  Only real chance you'll have is approaching clubs that may have used them at the time or NZF that might still have a few floating about at North Harbour/Albany Stadium.
