The return of The Duke. |
Wellington “The Duke” Mara passed away in October, 2005 at the age of 89 after dedicating 81 years to the New York Giants as an administrator, owner, and unwavering booster. In 1940, heeding the advice of influential team owners Tim Mara of the New York Giants and George Halas of the Chicago Bears, the NFL selected Wilson as the league’s official football supplier. The following year, Wilson introduced a redesigned football and named it “The Duke” in honor of Mara’s son, Wellington. The Duke stayed in play for nearly three decades until the NFL and AFL merged in 1969.

This ball was absolute garbage. I used it once. It was raining and it turned a pink color and all the grib is gone and is rock hard. No wonder it was so cheap. If I could return it I would. does anyone know what I can do to return it?

My Wilson F1100 Official NFL Game Football arrived days before it was scheduled to and in excellent condition. I would like to thank you for the fast shipping and the good quality of this product.
I would, also, like to see you open up a line of hand-sewn NFL team logo patches. I think that would be a good collector’s item.
Your satisfied customer,

This is the real thing, and obviously a great football. My only complaint is that it is not as pictured. The ball for 2008 has 8 stars on the new NFL logo, one for each division. The first 2 Goodell years (06/07) had the old multiple stars logo, as pictured. This is the new 8 star 2008 football.

I had purchased this item before and returned it because it stains the hands red when it gets wet. I bought another one liked the look and feel of it but like the other one I purchased it did the same thing. It really sucks cause I enjoy the feel and look of this ball better than a composite ball. Tight spiral every throw. Just wish it didn’t stain my hands when it get’s wet. I see the professionals use these in games in wet conditions and never see there hands get stained. Wonder why this happens with amazon balls. Great prompt service as always arrived a day early and love to play with something the pros do. Slightly disappointed.
