Re: g/u football?

aside from the laser engraved team name are there any other differences between retail footballs vs. game footballs?

Re: g/u football?

The difference between a retail football vs an authentic team used football is, on authentic team issued/and or used footballs, the team name is laser-printed onto the panel just under the NFL shield.

Each team will use their own team branded football on offense and only 12 footballs are approved per team per game.

The home team supplies "K" footballs and only 12 of those are approved per game.

With players taking the footballs and team pro shops selling the footballs, there really aren't that many authentic "Duke" footballs around.

I think he wants a game used one because it's already broken into.

My bad

I think he wants a game used one because it's already broken into. does the team name stamped on the football matter to you?

going along with the football theme, anyone have connections with a team that can get me one? i ask one team about getting one and the person directed me to send in a request on official letterhead along with a paper trail longer than the boston marathon.
all i want is a game used football so i can have catch with my son. the teams use plenty during the season and i am sure someone can spare one.
