The oval-shaped [[ball]]s used in [[American football]]. 🏈

The balls used in American football are brown, feature laces on the side, and have a white strip toward both ends.  They're similar to [[rugby ball]]s, but those can come in a wider variety of colors, frequently lack the laces, and do not have the stripes.  American footballs also have pointer ends than a rugby ball.

For association football, see [[soccer ball]].
