sc49erfan15 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Are you talking about the "night footballs" from the 1950's? For night games, the NFL used a white football with brown stripes and I assume brown laces. If this is what you're referring to, then the answer is...well...the 1950's.

sj32 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I think he's talking about the Wilson "GST" balls that were introduced a couple of seasons ago.Among the differences were tackified synthetic laces and "grip stripes". Wilson has since incorporated the same features into the more traditional 1001 and 1005 college footballs.p.s. the laces are black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I want the NFL to use the spiral Nerf footballs that whistled when you threw them.Kick.Ass. Dude those things are awesome!!! They make everyone look like they have the arm of Mike Vick in that old Powerade commercial. Could you even inagine Brett Farve or Peyton Manning tossing one of those things downfield? I can see it now. Quarterbacks making 107 yard pass completions On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

The football that was brain shaped, orange, and came in this cylinder thing looked like a test tube or something. That was my neighborhoods favorite ball to play with.

Ben5 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 First off, I loved the brain ball.Secondly, I first encountered those balls probably 3 years ago and I never saw them before that. They are easier to throw, in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
