Amazon.com Product Description
Grab onto a piece of history with Wilson's official NFL game ball--The Duke--which is dedicated to football legend Wellington "Duke" Mara. More than just a piece of memorabilia, The Duke is designed with the serious competitor in mind, with genuine hand-sewn, Tanned in Tack leather for superior playability and grip, and 3-ply VPU bladder for maximum durability and air retention. Other features include double lacing, the official NFL seal in gold, and Commissioner Roger Goodell signature stamp. 
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. About Wilson

 Happy February 23, 2010
Julian Prescott
The Item a Wilson F1100 Official NFL Game Football was to be a gift, so timing was important.
I was given a confirmation of the order and an ESA, as well as how it was being shipped.
It arrived ahead of schedule, and in perfect condition. So I am very happy with the transaction.
 Great ball February 1, 2010
Maverick410 (San Diego, CA USA)
This is the real deal, it's the football that your favorite NFL players are using on gameday. Since it's made of real leather, it is harder to get a good grip on than the everyday synthetic footballs. Since these footballs have to pass a number of tests before they are released, it goes without saying that you can throw an awesome spiral if you get a good handle on it. Be warned, this ball can HURT when you catch it, especially in cold weather. Obviously, not the ball to get if you just want to play a game of pass and catch with your buddies, but definitely fun to own.

Not too much you can say about this item--it's the genuine item, and if you ordered it, you obviously knew it beforehand. It's a real step up for most kids to have a "real" game ball like the ones used in the games they watch on Sunday. Every real football fan who has played at any level or just tossed the ball around the yard should own one at least once. As usual, Amazon's price and service were stellar.
Wilson F1100 Official NFL Game Footballs December 21, 2009
Tom J. Mcmahon (Nebraska)
I was a guest of Gregg Williams the Defensive Coordinator of the New Orleans Saints for the Monday night football game versus New England on November 30th. I wanted to bring down some Official NFL Game Footballs to get autographed and Amazon.com had the balls cheaper than anyone else by $30.00. Not only did I buy 4 footballs, but they were delivered in 2 or 3 days which was fantastic.

This is the best football. Period. Yes, it can be more slippery than a composite. But, look at it this way, if you can learn to thrown and catch with these, you are going to be better overall. My son is a QB who has played youth, HS, and semi-pro and we go outside and play catch regularly and have literally worked with hundred of footballs. This is our favorite. It is the right size, and it just has such a great feel and perfect flight trajectory. You CAN definitely tell the difference. Also, both my son and I have just normal sized hands and we have no problem throwing. Anyone who has trouble throwing and believes it is hand size related just needs to put in more time on the throwing. Heck my son used to throw full NFL size balls when he was 10 with no problem. Technique is a huge part of it. When I bought this last (we buy 1 to 2 a year because we use and abuse the balls) I bought this one and the best quality composite because we wanted to compare them directly. There is no comparison. This one rocks and we NEVER use the composite when we play catch. We saw a little bit of the coloring come off on our hands in the beginning, but nothing significant. There is one review on here that would make you believe these things bleed color... that is just not the case. We originally bought the two balls thinking we would use The Duke in good weather and the composite in crappy weather... but really, we just use the Duke all the time. Ours is now about 8 months old and it is extra slippery from all the use, so I am on here about to order another one. These balls make playing catch a pleasure and if you can get over the price (which is not all that bad here really) you will not regret going with this ball. From the moment you unpack this ball, you know you are playing with the best equipment available. Love it.
