Americans started playing "rugby football", then developed it into "American football". Interestingly, they left "association (i.e. "European-style") football" as is, but adapted the abbreviation "soccer". Since then the Brits kept denying they originally came up with that term.
Only their top-range, genuine leather college football and NFL balls. Their merchandise/collectors' stuff and artificial leather balls are made all over the world like in Vietnam, Turkey and what not. Wilson itself is owned by a Finnish conglomerate.
@@einundsiebenziger5488 Nobody else but the US plays our football so nobody else needs those kind of balls! You'd think we'd still be making them here!...
@@IAmNotAFunguyThat flat-out isn't true. Canada loves American football. In fact at 4:53 you can see a Grey Cup football (basically Canada's Superbowl) but Sweden, Mexico, Japan, Israel, and Australia also all have American Football leagues! Also they might not need Footballs but they do need money and sometimes we need cheaper footballs for less demanding applications like High School games, guys playing flag-football, kids to throw around with their fathers, or just to get autographed and left on a shelf somewhere, you wanna shell out $149 bucks for a NFL regulation Wilson football? Yes Wilson also makes cheaper ones but you hopefully get my point.
“Many historians note that before the 1850s was once made from the tanned skin of a pig,” says Kristina Peterson-Lohman. “But it's more likely that the football was made from a pig's bladder.” The bladder was used to help inflate the ball, but the nickname pigskin endured.
doesn't matter, they still make them the same way. Nothing will change when the new facility opens this year. Amazing place. I grew up near there and had a tour years ago.
@@Eduardo_Espinoza Actually... that's because it's a kind of Football. It's a derived of Rugby, which is also considered football because it began as such until one guy in a game in the city of Rugby decided to grab the thing with his hands and history is born.
Footballs were originally inflated with the bladders of animals, including those from pigs. The bladders were placed inside a leather cover, giving rise to the term “pigskin.” Eventually they moved on to cow leather but the name just stuck.
@@irrespondible NFL Football Is not the same Example You Can Over hand Pass the football Down field or hand the football off to run to get a Touch Down 6 ; 2 points for a safety; 1 points field goal kick
It's crazy how we pay like $15 for a ball that is made from machines that costs of thousands of dollars and takes people hours to make. Gotta appreciate everything we buy, lol.
@@I_WANT_MY_SLAW No the footballs they are making in the video are made of real leather and are mostly handcrafted. The footballs in the video cost about $100, composite footballs are much cheaper
it surprises me how much was shown to be handmade and not automated
Same with the basketball video, too
That’s why handmade is good quality
@@cameronrightmier848 you didn't get the point
these footballs were made for super bowl 40 18 years ago and the process is almost the exact same for every nfl football today
They're in the process of opening a much bigger and better facility next do to this one. This place has very little room to move around due to the volume of footballs they make. They're going to continue to make them this way in the new facility, along with adding NBA Basketballs, and more.

I've never seen so many bandaids on one hand!
I think those are not for covering cuts but for preventing them.
I graduate HS next year. I already have a career job lined up with Wilson as a Football maker.😁👍
This was one of the first original clips I remember I watched on TV in the 00's
- So what do you do for a living?
- i turn football inside out, professionally
bro if i had a job everting football skins, i'd be stoked and I'd be way better off than what i do currently
"Exactly how many stitches it takes is this company's closely guarded secret." Couldn't somebody.. ya know.. just count them??
I think it was a pun. 🤔
I feel like that might be a bit hard since they’re on the inside of the seams now.
@@vipe650r well you can also just open the football…
I feel the same way you do
Swoosh 😂
Im honestly chill just to watch these videos forever
I'm going to keep watching until I've seen every episode!
I love this channel, science in general.
in that case, id suggest vsauce, (philosophy) scishow(general), zefrank (biology) deep look (entomology) periodic videos(chemistry), ev nautilus(marine biology) ask a mortician (mortuary science) hydraulic press channel (engineering) electroboom (electricity) vaush (debate/political science) scishow psych (psychology).

That’s some serious sewing and manufacturing skills there.
Brady’s footballs weigh about 12 ounces.
so do my big oily shit loaves.
12 ounces. its like dropping a watermelon.
Is that why he has 7 Championships?
He’s a cheater

Not even interested in the sport but this is mesmerizing 🤭
Handmade in Ada, Ohio since 1955
They're building a much bigger facility next door to this. It's in the lot of the current one and they knocked down a couple houses on Buckeye.
3:24
6/10 finger with bandage , maybe the most dangerous job in that factory xD
yeah so dangerous
I like how the published this the same day the Súper bowl was due. Nice detail :D
Been on a 2 hour binge with these videos.
Me too
Love learning how things are made.
name : footballs
how to play it : people smashing each other when someone hold the ball
Love this channel it’s so educational and interesting 😊
"A properly inflated ball should weigh..."
Tom Brady: "...let me stop you right there."
Tom Brady should watch this
0:45 press operator missing the tip of thhe thumb :/
I wonder if Tom Brady has his own specifications.
Shhhh...🤫
A few pounds less...
HAHAH I scrolled down specifically looking for a Tom Brady comment
If its made out of cowhide......why do they call it a pigskin?
I was wondering the same🏈

@@coolnegative Can you imagine being the poor bastard who had to prepare a pig bladder for use as a ball? “Step one: drain the pig urine.”
@@jmowreader9555 🤣🤣🤣🤣 like they say........someone's got to do it!
Wonder how much time that worker spends taping her fingers
1:19 I started clapping
They knew exactly what they were saying in the script.
this is the comment i was looking for
I sometimes wonder how they came up with this game
Americans started playing "rugby football", then developed it into "American football". Interestingly, they left "association (i.e. "European-style") football" as is, but adapted the abbreviation "soccer". Since then the Brits kept denying they originally came up with that term.
i remember watching this when i was like 7 years old
I have a traditional melon planting video from start to finish, I'm from Indonesia
What a novelty to see such a well-known brand still being made in the USA 🏈❤️

I missed where they said the balls were made in the USA
Typical ignorant American thinking the world revolves around you, such narcissistic thinking
You'd think if someone really cared how many stitches it took, they could cut a ball open and count...
I believe that's a joke.
Wilson, I hope you never "CAST AWAY"
How to make a Brady tampered-proof football.
12 ounces
4:30 ah yes, ball inspection
“Many historians note that before the 1850s was once made from the tanned skin of a pig,” says Kristina Peterson-Lohman. “But it's more likely that the football was made from a pig's bladder.” The bladder was used to help inflate the ball, but the nickname pigskin endured.
Kinda crazy that the tools used to make this are more basic
Ah yes, the marvellous game of Handegg and how its eggs are manufactured
Narrator told it was a soccer ball shaped at one time then evolved into a watermelon shaped ball?! Yes more like handegg to you and me.
@Julian Plays Found the American.
No, it's Melonball. Didn't you hear the narrator?
Fascinating. 💚💚
How It’s Made vids are my sleeping pills. Good night 😴
talented workers
WILSOOONN !!!
this is very cool...this video seems old...is this video old? i mean the video from make footballs...Nice!
doesn't matter, they still make them the same way. Nothing will change when the new facility opens this year. Amazing place. I grew up near there and had a tour years ago.
The employees are wearing more hand and finger protection than the players.
Oh my gosh the white balance in this first sequence is magenta shifted so hard it looks like Barney
I never knew they’re made from cow hide. I’d always thought that footballs were made out of pig hide, because they’re called “pigskin.”
True, & they call it football, but they mostly use their hands.

This is very interesting, but my God, the woman's hands that sews the footballs inside out are so sad.
She's got taped fingers like a lineman!
Originally aired September 5, 2006.
Nice tape job on the hands. Lol
We also manufacture these balls in Pakistan in our factory. And you know what? It isn't very expensive
This is how footballs are made!!
I like this channel, Informative videos.

1:28 looks like someone has been cutted. a little hope they are fine they are probably fine.
... has been cut*.

Oh god, a Mike Shula football. The era that made me embarrassed to be an Alabama fan.
They call it a football whilst i watch people hold it with their hands in game:
FOOTBAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!

Those balls cost more than $15 and don’t take hours to make. Where did you get your information?

Can anyone explain me why we call both of them (oval ball and round ball) a football?
Because they are for the sport.
4:40 That looks closer to 21 and 3/8ths".
The title should be how it's made: handeggs
Yeah
Guys just remember laces out
Go Chiefs
Don't forget to correctly inflate to NFL specifications!!!!!
Yeap, that’s probably a sweatshop. 1:35 look at her hands.
They are made in china
@@I_WANT_MY_SLAW These are made in the US. Their artificial leather balls are made in Vietnam or Turkey.
I like it 🥰
Thanks
I got the the bucs who yall got?
It's mostly made out of cow hide but they call it pigskin?
The most dangerous ball in the world; high probability of breaking bones and endangerment of death when held during a game.
Interesting
We all know they actually make em in factories
Everybody has a plumbus
Waiting for ray mak
Did anyone else notice Tom Brady in the background?
Aren’t seamstresses suppose to wear those little finger guard things to not end up like this poor woman?
Wooow ෆට්ට👀👀👀👀🔥
It's a handegg. Get it right.
They explain at the beginning why it's shaped like a pointy ellipse. An egg has one thick and one thin end.
Awesome 🇺🇲🏈
Hmm, I wonder why it was hard to carry. Maybe because it's a foot ball?
So its not really a pigskin
It's no wonder why they're so expensive.

Me : Noice
I’ve never seen a watermelon shaped like a football but ok 😂
This video had balls
Really strange ball
Ya! The Weeknd is performing can't wait 🥰🤘🏾
