A soccer ball.
Soccer was known and played before Basketball. At first the game was said to involve elements of American Football, Soccer and Hockey but these were just a means to describing the new game to outsiders, so Soccer ball was used until the first Basketball was manufactured in 1894.
A soccer ball, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball#Early_basketball. A soccer ball was used to play the first basketball game.
Apparently Soccer AM made it famous, but who first used it seems uncertain.
The cards used in soccer (2) were the yellow card (warning) or red (sent off).
You cant get blue cards. You can get red and yellow cards though. You get a yellow card for a foul or diving or a minor handball. If you get two yellow cards then you get a red card and get sent off. You get a straight red card for a bad foul or a goal saving handball or a goal saving foul. ____ There are blue cards in indoor soccer and beach soccer. Word Cup, European and English soccer don't use the blue card. I don't believe the MLS does either. The blue card is issued for minor violations and the player is generally sent off the field for a few minutes to serve a penalty.

In indoor soccer, a player may be sent to a penalty box (like one used in ice hockey) for a yellow card offense. In indoor soccer, yellow cards are actually blue.

In soccer, a red card may be issued for things such as extremely hard fouls, violent or offensive conduct, a flagrant handling offense to prevent a goal, and other similar offenses. It should also be noted, however, that two yellow cards in one game leads to a red card as well.

Soccer has two types of cards, yellow and red. Yellow cards are used to caution a player for a major breach of the rules, called "misconduct". A second yellow card, as well as several egregious forms of misconduct, warrant a red card, which indicates that the player is sent off and can no longer play in that game or remain in the vicinity of the pitch. Some similar games (which do not follow the IFAB Laws of the Game) can employ blue, green, black, white, or even so-called "soft red" cards to mean various things, but they aren't part of the soccer / football that most of the world plays.
