The original ball was not spherical it was more or less egg shaped. This was due to the bladder used inside to hold the air. The ball developed later needed to be used for hand passing more than kicking so the cone shaped ends were developed which we see today. The balls shaped makes the ball easier to pass and adds an element of unpredictability when kicked
