TheBaden Perfection
The Baden Perfection is the ball that the NFL currently uses.
The ball was first used in the 1934 NFL Championship Game. The pigskin had previously been white, but brown had been adopted as the league’s official color in honor of the recently retired Jim Thorpe. Officials believed that a brown ball would be easier to see on black-and-white television. The new color also made the ball more visible to players on the field.
In 1939, the NFL experimental with a synthetic rubber ball, but it was too slippery and was quickly discarded. In 1941, the league began using a 100% leather ball. This ball was used for almost two decades before being replaced by a synthetic leather ball in 1961.
The current Baden Perfection has undergone several modifications since first being introduced. The seams have been higher quality and better sealed to prevent air from leaking out. In addition, the tanned leather cover has been treated to make it more water resistant.
