its unusual shape

jdiesel121... the reason that it has an unusual shape is that the Football was invented around 1876 by a man by the name of Walter Camp and he figured out that with the shape of the football it is more aerodynamic than any other ball that was created at the time so that is what makes it go farther than other balls.
