Best Answer

the ball is actually natural cow hide leather tanned. It is required to have a pebbled grain and 4 seams with 8 or 12 laces. It was decided that natural tan would not be like any color of jersey and the rules require that nothing on the field be ball colored. The rules l also requirs that the ball have stripes on each end on the panels asjacent to the laces only. The stripes are there to make the ball flashier and easier to see and the officials use the movement of the stripes to determine ball control
