There were many changes in ball from start of soccer my father used to play with ball that used to have lace in? similar to American football but obviously round, and on a wet matchday used to gain twice the weight because it acted like a sponge and if you headed it on a wet matchday on the laced bit "OUCH". Since then designs have moved from classic shape to hexigons and back? turning to synthetic rather than leather for speed and aerodinamics? matchballs generally these days are nothing compared to originals and i don't think players now would be as good if they went back to laced leather balls they used up until 1960s
