It depends on which aspect you are looking at. The field goal post used to be at the front of the end zone (that was changed to keep players from being knocked out), the helments were little leather caps at one point and shoulder pads were hardly existant. In the early days the football itself was more round than now days.
The uniform has changed in many ways. in the old days they had to remember who was on there team now they have matching shirts, shorts and other equipment. Just like Basketball, in football they no longer wear "short" shorts, though basketball was "short short" shorts Also...the names in football are now written on their back (introduced in EPL 15 years ago)..on personalised jersey, whereas it used to be just numbered 1-11 without any name identification. Example Ronaldo at Manchester United is always #7. The number is also now written on the shorts.
Well over time new rules come into play in football. for example the offside rule wasn't used originally. for the first time in around 1992 players could not "pass" the ball back to the goalkeepers they could only header or chest it back to the goalkeeper (if the goalkeeper wishes to pick the ball up). tackles from behind have been totally cracked down on as playes tended to go right though an opponent resulting in a series of leg injuries. the goalkeeper "four step" rule was obolished and they are now free to roam the area with the ball in hand for six seconds. players taking their jersey off after celebrating a goal will be yellow carded now...this was introduced as players revealed messages on a T-shirt under their jersey sometimes political, they are basically all the modern rules that did not used to happen *The goals also used to be just two poles near each other, and to score you just had to get it between them at any height. Then they put in a crossbar (to make it harder to score) and nets (so you know whether it went in or not).
Football has officially been played in the United States since November 6, 1869. However, it was played in schoolyards longer than that.

American football, sometimes called Gridiron, has always been called "Football" in the United States since it was invented. This is why Americans refer to Association football as "soccer", even though the English (who invented the word) generally stopped using that word long ago. The name "Gridiron" comes from a name used to describe or refer to the American football field of play, so-named because of the grid-like jail-bar pattern the lines make.

The first rules of American football were devised by folks that ran and played college ball. At a meeting between these colleges in 1876, the crossbar height was set at ten feet. It has not been changed since.
