Description
Throughout American sports history, no other brand has been partnered with a league longer than Wilson has been with the NFL. Not only has every point scored in the NFL been with a Wilson Football, but every Wilson NFL game ball has been handcrafted in Ada, OH by skilled craftsmen and women for decades. "The Duke" NFL football was named in honor of the game's pioneering legend and NY Giants owner, Wellington Mara. Back when Mara was a young boy taking in the game from the sidelines, the Giants players dubbed him "The Duke" and years later, the NFL game ball took on this nickname too. Bring home "The Duke" today, which is as close as a fan can get to the authentic, on-field icon that's been passed, caught and carried by the game's greatest since the NFL started in 1941. Personalize this ball with custom laser engraved text by selecting the “Custom” product type.

Bought 2 Wilson The Duke NFL Footballs and within a week one developed a slow leak. I called Wilson's customer service and after providing a few documents and photos, was credited a replacement football. Fantastic service, received the replacement ball 3 days later. Will always order direct from this supplier.

Always a great football. Curious, though, about the description "as close to the" real thing as possible. What's the difference between these and the ones the pros use? Would love to know.

Had it for a little while and it’s good. Only down fall is it’s unsymmetrical looking at the laces. One sides a little fatter than the other. But still a good ball.
Smudged paint

The silver paint from National Football League is smudged and randomly smeared on to one of the blank panels. Ball quality is fine as far as I can tell, but for a $120 football I didn’t expect any major flaws, and was hoping for a better appearance.
Perfect!

There’s something nice about purchasing a football made in Ada, Ohìo. Arrived fully inflated and an American icon. Absolutely beautiful. Don’t shortchange yourself. It’s worth it.

Bought a "Duke" some 50+ years ago....not sure what happened to it....but, it was well worn from constant use! This was a long overdue replacement. Just wish it had Pete Rozelle's autograph!

After two hours of these balls in the rain, I come home and they are flat. Even though it claims to have a 10 on the durability scale.

My ball arrived and I pumped it up and found that the ball is leaking air. Very disappointed.

Nearly perfect craftsmanship, (nothing is perfect) Have enjoyed much since i got it, make sure to get the dressing kit, that is my only beef, think it should be included even if it is a mini kit, the ball itself is great.
Just what I expected.

Weird Texture of Leather
3 out of 5 stars
Bucher807 - 4 years ago
originally posted on wilson.com
I have never bought an NFL football before and this was a nice opportunity to get one. Once I got it and opened it up, I noticed that the leather felt weird. I know that this isn't 100% like the pros, but I thought that the leather style would be the same. Once again, this is the first one I've owned, but I am curious if anyone else noticed this. To me, the leather feels fake while the ball is extremely hard. Maybe there is too much air in the ball or maybe I have to break it in a little bit. Can anyone offer some advice?
1 reply from Team Sports team - 4 years ago
Since this is an official game ball, the leather will be stiff, and the ball will feel hard at first. If you prep your football like the pros, it should improve the feel. We have a video explaining how to do so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61DOH-PW3Qs&feature=emb_title
Terrific Product! Great Service!

I bought 3 Duke footballs that all have have uneven and loose laces. Not at all what I expected. The uneven lettering by the seam of the football on the 3rd photo.

I started breaking the ball in and it is now lopsided with loose laces. It makes it very awkward to throw. I do not recommend
