Summary: Misleading Picture
Comment: 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.

Summary: Simply Awesome Ball!
Comment: I'm from The Netherlands so not really familiar with american football (as of yet) but more with real football we play here. But i can savely say that this ball is simply excellent!!! I recommend this ball to everyone in de US as well as in Holland and the rest of Europe (the whole world even), top quality! The grip, weight and size are just perfect and you can through it really far..like 45-50 meters at least(don't know in yards).

Summary: The real thing
Comment: This is THE ACTUAL BALL that the professionals of the NFL use, so how can you give it anything other than five stars. This is like driving Jeff Gordon's stockcar or swinging Barry Bonds' bat -- it may not be the most comfortable for you to use but it's the real deal. If you're buying a ball for a kid, get something easier on the hands. But this is like having the actual ball that Eli Manning threw and which David Tyree caught with his head.

Summary: Know what you're buying
Comment: This is the official football used by the NFL and you'll be paying for it. If you want an affordable, durable, all-weather football, there are great balls by Spaulding, Nike, even Wilson, in the $20-$40 range.
Now that doesn't mean the Wilson F1100 official football is a rip-off, just realize what you're buying. It's a great ball, with a great feel, that is pretty durable. If you've played basketball with a leather ball, you'll recognize that a leather ball is not as sticky as the high tact, composite-leather balls we're mostly used to playing with. That's not to say it's slippery as a wet fish either, but the slight difference in material is worth noting.
A football that costs upwards of $70 is mostly for the fact that you're getting the official ball used by the NFL. If you want the authentic football that you see your favorite players using, then this is the football for you. If you're looking for a good ol' fashioned ball that you won't mind getting scuffed and dirty (as all footballs get, this one included) then there are lots of much cheaper footballs out there that perform just as effectively.

Summary: Great Product
Comment: This football is the exact one the NFL League uses. It is of the highest quality. Thanks for a great product and excellent service.

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
