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 grew up blocks from this place and had a tour years ago.

The first footballs were made out of pig bladders covered with leather. So...the leather part was the "skin for the pig." When Mr. Goodyear figured out how to vulcanize rubber, they stopped using pig bladders.

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.
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.
@@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.

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

- 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!
God the music is just amazing. No wonder stoners love this show so much
I don’t understand this comment...😂
Lmaooooo smoking a blunt watching this 😂
The music makes me think of dreams!
@@TheJBeauchamp people who are high af make plenty of comments on these videos.
gotta give it to them- they know their market
I graduate HS next year. I already have a career job lined up with Wilson as a Football maker.😁👍
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

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
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.
"A properly inflated ball should weigh..."
Tom Brady: "...let me stop you right there."
name : footballs
how to play it : people smashing each other when someone hold the ball
Tom Brady should watch this
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
1:19 I started clapping
Wonder how much time that worker spends taping her fingers
If its made out of cowhide......why do they call it a pigskin?
I was wondering the same🏈

talented workers
They knew exactly what they were saying in the script.
this is the comment i was looking for
Wilson, I hope you never "CAST AWAY"
Love your videos
How It’s Made vids are my sleeping pills. Good night 😴
this is very cool...this video seems old...is this video old? i mean the video from make footballs...Nice!

I sometimes wonder how they came up with this game

How to make a Brady tampered-proof football.
12 ounces
Fascinating. 💚💚
I like this channel, Informative videos.
WILSOOONN !!!
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?
Nice tape job on the hands. Lol
This is how footballs are made!!
This is very interesting, but my God, the woman's hands that sews the footballs inside out are so sad.
What a novelty to see such a well-known brand still being made in the USA 🏈❤️

The title should be how it's made: handeggs
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.
Awesome content
Oh my gosh the white balance in this first sequence is magenta shifted so hard it looks like Barney

We also manufacture these balls in Pakistan in our factory. And you know what? It isn't very expensive

She's got taped fingers like a lineman!

The employees are wearing more hand and finger protection than the players.
Hey Arnold meets Tom Hanks in Cast Away 2.
They call it a football whilst i watch people hold it with their hands in game:
FOOTBAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!
1:28 looks like someone has been cutted. a little hope they are fine they are probably fine.
... has been cut*.
@@einundsiebenziger5488 ._. r.i.p.
The lady that was sewing the white stitch, her forearms are bigger than my biceps.
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.

Can anyone explain me why we call both of them (oval ball and round ball) a football?
Because they are for the sport.
Wilson: Tom Hanks approved
This clip is almost that old too haha
Guys just remember laces out
Interesting
Awesome 🇺🇲🏈
I’ve never seen a watermelon shaped like a football but ok 😂
There's no way they still do this by hand Edit: It's a old video
Obviously you did not watch the video... they are literally showing people making these by hand. SMH.
@@rlbarney2 It's a old video
... an* old video.
I got the the bucs who yall got?
Don't forget to correctly inflate to NFL specifications!!!!!
It's no wonder why they're so expensive.
We all know they actually make em in factories
Waiting for ray mak
It's mostly made out of cow hide but they call it pigskin?
This video had balls
Hmm, I wonder why it was hard to carry. Maybe because it's a foot ball?
I thought it was pig skin
So that's how Rugby balls are made.
So its not really a pigskin
Aren’t seamstresses suppose to wear those little finger guard things to not end up like this poor woman?
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.
Really strange ball
