NFL Footballs don't have stripes, and they're also hiding a secret.

Tom Brady is the cause of many New Englanders with empty balls on Sundays.
Other cool fact is that NFL used when lighting was poor in 1940's after WWII, an all light tan ball/called the white ball for night games. Before 1940's lighting for NFL or for that matter most outdoor sports, lighting was not there enough to even play, so no night games or at least very few. Only in early 1950's did lighting get better using theater spotlights on a tall pole a few of them, not just one on each pole to not need the night game ball.
@@w4tt58Why? Because Tam Brody worshipers are so delusional of his "aledged" greatness (they all think Tam Brody could have done all he did without Bill Belichick, the coaches, and all the other 52 teammates) that they "fantasize" about being his wife?
I’ve never actually seen an NFL football fly in person, only CFL. And I’ll tell you: It’s a piece of cake to see that thing flying through the air. And really fun to see the white circles vibrate when rotation is fast and tight in a spiral!
One ball that wasn’t covered was an arena league football which is skinner but longer and I think looks the best in the air and you can make the most insane catches with it lol
@@_o.0_.
I think you meant skinnier. As in thinner.
I absolutely 💯 agree with you, the NFL should have the white stripes on it, and I believe at 1 time long ago,it may have had 2 white stripes on it
Of course the NFL doesnt want any outside factors interfering with their game; they already have enough inside factors that do that
Yeah, the NFL certainly does not want outside influences like Vegas and other casino gambling, or online betting or the Fantasy betting to influence the outcome of gams. 😊
The NFL in the beginning did permit stripes on the ball, especially for use in night games televised or not, until 1976. Also, the NFL's football named "The Duke" was named after the Giants co-founder Tim Mara's son Wellington Mara's nickname.
When I was a kid, my dad introduced me to football telling me the striped ones were “night footballs.”
In fact, in the 40s and early 50s night games featured white footballs with black stripes
Wellington Mara was the co founder and Tim is the son. I think you got it backwards
@holdenmuganda97 Tim Mara was the co-founder of the New York Football Giants in 1925, but when he passed in 1959, he passed the team down to his sons Jack and Wellington Mara.
@@jacobtrulock2973 I stand corrected. I’m a commanders fan anyways lmao 🤣
Makes sense now why the NFL frowns upon players tossing 🏈 to fans after a TD.
They frown on it because someone could get hurt. That part about official balls are not sold to the public is only because no one has football tracking technology in their backyard or on their bedroom bookshelf so they don't need balls with chips.
It's not a football ball video without Tom Brady deflating the balls
It’s not a football video without some butt hurt loser in the comments making a Tom Brady comment because of pure jealousy
0:24 Pretty much said this in sync with Five while watching
Toms balls are so huge it’s not possible to deflate them it’s set in stone
If you read the Tim Tebow CFL Chronicles, you’d know the Canadian ball also has a javelin in it
The CFL also place Beaver traps, hidden in the turf.
And at half-time, CFL players go into igloos, for pancakes and maple syrup.
Also many CFL stadiums are used for polar bear petting zoos.

Funn fact: the overhead throw used for Rugby Union lineouts actually came to be from a Rugby player adopting what he had seen, from Football the line out was originally lateral pass, he changed it to an over head throw.
But the American Rugby players threw the ball one-handed, as in American football. Another fun fact: The USA won the Olympic gold medal in rugby in 1920 and 1924.
The Canadian ball has the same overall dimensions as the American ball, but it is slightly less pointed, more like a rugby ball.
Regarding the kicking back and forth, you are allowed to drop kick the ball at any time in the CFL, and anyone behind the kicking player is considered onsides and can recover it, including the kicker. This season a player drop kicked the ball a few feet and recovered it himself, giving his team an automatic first down. Several years ago, on the last play of a tie game, one team missed a field goal, but touchbacks (on kicks at least) are worth one point, so the defense needed to get the ball out of their endzone or they would lose the game. They kicked it out, the other team recovered and kicked in back in, there was a scramble for the ball, and eventually the original kicking team recovered the ball for a touchdown. It’s a fun league.
God I love the craziness that occasionally happens due to the rouge in the Canadian game.
Still have to love that shot of Staley (the Bears mascot) falling to the ground in agony after the double doink..
it's still a classic
I’d argue that the striped ball looks better in flight than a non-striped one. Kinda like the old ABA baskeball that had the two tone design and looked really cool with a nice backspin on it.
Ngl the stripes make it look childish because a lot of footballs for kids use that same pattern too
I agree, I prefer the college ball.
Bro, if you're doing 3.3 g bumps, you're going to the stairway to heaven.
I was going to say, that’s the size of a full sugar packet. Unless you’re Tony Montana, that’s a LOT of blow.
I wonder if he meant to say size of a "ball" lol.
That's basically an 8 ball lol
@@alexallen6286 just about yeah. Most dealers short you that .2 anyway no matter the drug
@@mylessmith5866 ahh I bet he did.
FWIW the original rounder shape of the ball is also why dropkicking was far more common in the early days.
How does it feel to release a video and within seconds, hundreds of people stop what they are doing to watch it?
Man, if your bumps are 3.3 grams, you're having a way better weekend than I am.
Many years ago Spalding made the CFL football. The league called it the J5V.
Why did the league call it the J5V? Because back in the early days of the CFL they sourced their original ball from rugby 🏉 balls purchased out of the Eaton's catalogue... The rugby ball was located. In Section J, page 5, item V. Aka, later as the league developed its own ball calling it the J5V.
Eventually in the 2000's the CFL contracted Wilson to make CFL footballs.
Fun fact: Until about 20 years ago, give or take, CFL balls were all hand stitched, so no two balls were exactly the same. Like the NFL ball, they are machine stitched now, and so they are all uniform in size.
That college ball is mesmerizing when its thrown perfect. This video just made me realize why i like it so much
“They said that’s weak and stopped” not sure why that’s the line that sent me cackling but hey, funny is funny 😂👉👉
I vividly remember when the NFL stopped using striped balls in night games because Terry Bradshaw said he was happy about it because the striped balls were slippery.
That wonderfully deadpan delivery by Nate Bargatze as George Washington, in my opinion, is among the best-ever SNL sketches!
Well just made a comment on a video about the "HAWKEYE" introduction, and in it I wondered about why visual and not a "CHIP" based solutions....
Now I know .... atm there all ready is a hardware solution all ready in use. Not for spotting ball position per 'se but ... Cool!
So we can’t purchase or procure any previously used balls, but what about the balls that are given to fans? Have any of them attempted to open the ball find the proprietary technology?
These balls clearly have MAGNETS in them. There was a game last Sunday - Texans v Broncos - in which 3 FGs were definitely affected by something strange inside the ball. The Broncos kicker looked genuinely amazed that his 1st kick that looked like it was going a mile wide actually was good. There was no wind (indoors) so how did the ball swing left to right by 20 yards? Answer: MAGNETS. I love the NFL but its really just WWE with a (dodgy) ball....
Return of the doink!
@@playdiscgolf1546A Jake fan👍
That's what happens when the ball is oblong and has laces.
If you look at game films in the 50's NFL played at night, the ball was white with black stripes.
I mean the current XFL doest have Stripes either. But the best footballs i have ever seen was the original Red and Black XFL ball, and the old white with blue stripe AFL (Arena Football League) ball.
There's a good video: "The Most Beautiful Balls in American Football History". ...and we're not talking about what gets thrown.
The old xfl ball was so ugly lmao
The commissioner can't get his name on it with the stripes. God forbid the God of the NFL can't get his ego boost.
Ad ends at 2:11.
NFL players hand out footballs all the time to spectators in the stands, so there are plenty of them out there if people want to cut them open.
What monster is doing 3.3g bumps?! 😂😂😂😂😂
Btw, it (the microchip) will also end up being able to replace the idiotic chains on the sidelines, which they have almost done it now…(if you have been paying VERY close attention in recent years, you will have noticed a rather large decline in as many on-field chain measurements for first downs as you once did, even when coaches ask, which is surprising).
Some of this is due to the fields being so much better at all levels, the communication systems on officials keep them from having to travel on field to huddle for discussions & they can also have support “from above,” whether they admit it or not. They are trying to speed games up on every level.
The NC/SC Shrine Bowl was earlier today, one where half the NC Roster barely got to practice (they were in state championship games last week) & it STILL took 4 hours.
The last two TDs were scored w/ less than 4 min in 4th, so it was a VERY boring, VERY low scoring game (10 pts, TOTAL) before that last 4 min, for 4 hours almost.
1:14 I felt that moment in the ad read😢 Hope you're doing well Five
3.3 grams is the size of a bump?? 5 points must be hardcore! That's like a $240 bump.
If ya wanna die. That's how.
Maybe you can’t buy an NFL official ball, but plenty of fans go home with balls that end up in the stands.
LOL... One good heavy duty magnet in a glove could wipe that chip in seconds. :D
The CFL ball has a heater built-in. It gets cold up there
I’m disappointed you didn’t explain why “The Duke” is printed on all the NFL balls.
Sooooo for the fans who got a ball tossed to them after a touchdown…… the NFL just has their home address ? 🤣😭😭
I know I'm a Patriots fan, and thus am biased, however...
The Colts had more underflated balls that night, ten out twelve, compared to the Pats, four out of twelve.
Of all the funny things in the video, I laughed hardest at the sound effect at 6:30.
There’s a bunch of kids who have gotten souvenir touchdown balls all over the league from cam newton and other players and they all probably have chips in their footballs, crazy
Short answer: Because it has Solids.
😂😂😂 I love Billiards/Pool 🎱
I remember a time back in the day when white footballs were used for night games.
Don't forget, long ago for a short time the balls were dyed white for night games.
"Those lights are pretty bad, unless youre in a rich suburb of Dallas"
Me watching in Plano:
So, a genuine question: if you can't buy a game-used NFL football, then what about the game balls either given to players/coaches or kicked/thrown/handed to people in the stands? I would assume those have the chips.
I just now posted the same question. Maybe we will get a video on that if we keep asking for it
A quick google search shows you Can buy game used balls, even balls used in specific games. They ain't cheap, $999.00 US Autographed ball go for $10,000. and up.
I call bullshit on this video.
The NFL doesn’t earn its stripes. Our troops won’t let them have their stripes because they’re pissed off on… things.
Laughed way too hard at the Dallas suburbs joke at 4:50 because I live in Dallas and it’s completely 100% accurate 🤣… they have multiple high schools out here with $50 Million+ stadiums and think nothing of it. It’s absolutely amazing and terrifying all at once lol
The ball has multiple sensors. Joe Burrow told me, believe it or not.
Personally, I like the way the college ball looks in the air better 🤷♂️
6:40 3.5gram bump? Bro that CZcams money must hit different.
3:01 ah yes Rutgers: where football was born, and where good football goes to die.
There is a lot of cursing in a video about a toy lmao
dude i've wondered about this a few weeks back while watching college ball. didn't really care enough to look into it but definitely watching this video since it popped up in my feed lol
At 4:24, the football decided taunt the Bills by not going wide right, saying, "You've been through so much heartbreak, I'll sail wide right for another team ... nope!
I understand why you can't buy a game used ball because of the tech inside, but then what about when an NFL player gives a ball away after they score? How do they handle that with the technology?
It’s funny how you unofficially officially acknowledged that Americans stole football from Canada which is true!🤣
Anyone else found it gross Sydney Sweeny was 20-21 when she met her fiancé who was mid 30s?
So what if a fan keeps a ball that a player gives them? Could you track your stats in a game between your friends with that ball?
I think the equipment to read the stored data is proprietary, so no.
If you can hack the ball and make the info route to your own server, then yes (you’d also have to open and restitch the ball to access the chip)
I’m a simple man. I see a fivepoints vids notification, I click on it
Almost 1/3 of this video is a “BEAR” commercial
THANK YOU! I was just wondering about this the other day. Talk about good timing!
Obviously it would be easier to see the ball if it had stripes. And it would also give the Referees more perspective on where the ball is on those moshpit Touchdown or Not decisions. Seems silly not to have them for I.D. reasons.
what's that old school skit they are doing about football. "yes! it's a sport you throw a ball with your hands!"
Nate Bargatze on SNL
Crazy that the random high school clip used at 4:45 happens to be where I went to high school
I'm not even a huge sports fan, but I watch every one of your videos
The visibility argument is amazing to me as an outsider. You know, if you already understand white is the more visible color...maybe make the whole thing white and have red stripes? Do you ever have to wonder where a soccer ball is? Just a suggestion so people like me don't don't pick other sports over football because you simply never see the ball unless it's loose or in the air and then there's hardly 20 minutes of actual live playing time per hour of TV coverage. The game is amazing but it doesn't lend itself to casuals for those 2 reasons alone!! Literally dropped the ball
So what you're saying is that you want to see balls and longer sessions of men playing with each other.
You bring up the great talking points about visibility on these sports. The black and white hexagon soccer.....football was specifically designed that way because most televisions across the world were black and white.
High visibility is also a distraction from the game/match. Look at the "FoxTrax" in hockey. You missed everything that was happening because all you could watch was that stupid blue comma.
Football with stripes > Football without stripes. Not for tracking, but for aesthetics in flight
3.3 gram bump? You doing alright buddy?
Catgut is made from animal intestines, but never from cats.
And I bet Bear Mattresses aren’t made from bears.
If only it could predict a 1st down
3.3 grams or a bump. I think we need to find a sponsor to test this
Why is there no stripes? Because Roger Goodell needs his full autograph to be seen
Wow, i never knew that so much,if not most of Football terminology comes from Rugby.
Including many rules; some obsolete.
Read a book. Pigs don’t have stripes.
There is actually stories of recovers getting drafted and have a really hard time in the pros and they use the excuse that the ball dosent have stripes on it so it’s harder to see..
Any football looks amazing when thrown.
Watch your back, Canada, here comes the NFL.
I’m thinking about a premise for a movie in which a long time basement dwelling NFL team is able to insert a remote control guidance circuit into the football that is targeted by a joystick manned by the nerdy inventor in the stadium booth. Every pass could theoretically be complete. Of course there would have to be incompletions to make it realistic and hide the cheating. Perhaps starring Will Ferrell as the HC of the team.
wait so if you catch a ball at a game with one of these chips do they try to take it?
The Canadian football is quite a bit bigger than the NFL football
Not anymore
He’s not wrong with the rich suburbs of Dallas cause… well damn there’s a lot here😅
CFL balls also have chips now. So now they're back to collecting balls kicked into the crowd.
I always thought the stripes were to help kickers. I also thought they were to help throwers know where to place their hands.
No, the NFL does not want any OUTSIDE factor to manipulate the outcome of games.
Need to do one about why colour matters for cricket balls more than you think
Thanks, 5 points vids. Always Wanted to know why this was the case
High school footballs are the same as CFL football stripes.
So the mendela affect hit me hard because i dont watch a lot of NFL football, and I never noticed that the ball doesn't have a stripe, like whenever i picture a football in my head i see a stripe stranger still that its the CFL full ring, i guess it makes a little sense since i watch more NCAA that i see the half stripe and when it's spinning in the air looks like a full ring but still
To add to your history of the football, a white ball with black stripes was used for night games until 1956, since stadium lights were pretty crappy. So the legend goes,as more teams wore white jerseys it was discontinued as it was thought the white ball could be “hidden” against the shirts (which doesn’t explain why the Browns couldn’t hide a brown ball against brown shirts, unless it’s because of the chip or the fact we have games in HD, yeah that must be it , right)
He what about when players throw the ball into the stands?
Or give it to a fan?
How is a microchip supposed to know when a players down? Only the foot hand and wrist can touch the ground?
Since the balls are microchipped, do the balls have names now?
You should make a USFL/XFL video about their upcoming merger
So, if you manage to get a ball into your hands in a game, can you keep it? That very same ball.
This is a Bear Mattress commercial, save yourself some time.
That a pretty big bump
If the chip was in the exact center of the football, wouldn't they be able to find the exact spot for any other point of the ball?
Clearly its because the refs would confuse the ball as one of their own amd eject anyone who dares to touch it
