Here is a great football that has become extinct. It was larger and not made for the passing game until Knute Rockne brought the passing game to football. He brought the forward pass to unknown NCAA Notre Dame and beat the nationally known and favored NCAA Army the next year to put Notre Dame in the spotlight forever.The passing game was born but before it was in vogue the watermelon football rode supreme. This is a beautiful replica football, handcrafted and hand sewn by Past Time Sports. Size and weight are perfect. Try to wrap your hand around it and throw a pass. You can do it but it is an experience when comparing this old style ball with the streamline look and feel of today's ball. It is made of a old style leather which is specially tanned to give it the look of aged leather. This ball will send you back to the days of early teens and twenties football.Great to partner this vintage football with the Football Cap, for a unique Halloween costume.
