We can't have BLUE ballz cuz ain't nobody want blue ballz.

I would prefer a fluorescent orange/yellow or gold/silver football. I have a hard time seeing the ball on those field goals. The only question is whether it would be harder to see if the ball moved during a controversial catch like the Danny Coale catch. Not many teams have brown uniforms so a brown leather ball moving would be visible during instant replay. A silver ball might be harder to see against a silver jersey.

Why do college footballs have to be brown? Would an old ABA ball color -- VTVOICE 04/09/2022 11:13AM

Well ... is there a safety or visibility need for a brighter football? ** -- VTVOICE 04/11/2022 11:07AM

That's why I asked if anyone is complaining about this. -- Pride_and_Joy 04/11/2022 11:16AM
