where are footballs made
Since 1955, the official NFL footballs have been made at the Wilson factory in Ada, Ohio. Each football is handmade from cowhide sourced from Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa.ootball fans often perpetuate the idea that footballs used to be made of pigskin, which is how they got their nickname, but it turns out this isn't the case. In fact, pigskins were originally made out of animal bladdersâsometimes the bladder of a pig, which is thought to be how the moniker pigskin came about.
