I noticed when I watch games on TV the game balls they use are WAY darker than the standard F1100 game ball you can buy in stores. I know that each team is given a certain number of game balls to prepare for each game, so I am guessing they rub them up or something... however their quarterback likes. But even if they put something on them, I can't get over how much darker they are than the NFL "game ball" they sell in stores. And it is EVERY team. When you watch on TV, some of the balls they use seem to be so dark you can barely read the "Wilson" and "Duke" marks on them. And I know it isnt just TV lighting or anything... I bought a game used football from the Packers and it is way darker than any other NFL football I have seen in person.
Does anyone know what product teams use on these balls to get them game ready that makes them so dark? Or is there another reason they are so dark?
