Who made the first leather football?

Answer 1

L.P. Smock, a player at Princeton University, designed the first official football uniform in 1877. The uniform consisted of a canvas jacket, black knee pants, stockings and a jersey. The modern football jersey, with numbers on the front and back to indicate each player, did not come into practice until the first half of the 20th century.

Answer 2

Charles Goodyear is considered to be the person who made the first leather football. However, the oldest balls can be traced to ancient times.
