It gives them a true "kick"—weather or not! It used to be that low cost footballs couldn't match the spirit of their young users. When the going got wet, they would go out of round and lose their stability in the air. They also would lose their pebble embossing and become hard to handle.
The major reasons for using PLIOFLEX in these covers are: First, its permanently light color permits bright, clean colors without the expense of natural rubber. And second, its high uniformity makes possible a product of consistently high quality.
What was needed was a new kind of cover. This took some doing but finally a leading fabric coater came up with a successful solution—a thick, heavy-duty coating based on PLIOFLEX rubber. Result: A tough, longwearing cover that withstands the wettest weather, without losing its shape or embossing.
