🏈 My buddy wants to buy official Alabama game ball new

[utstnx]

my buddy wants to buy official Alabama game ball. Same as on field. Not a game used ball. Just the exact same ball. I was told they were Nike Elite...??? That ring any bells? Any links would be helpful on where to buy. Been trying to find some close ups of the ball. I found one site that said it was official and it was a Nike elite ball but just had crimson swoosh on it.... no script A , no Bama seal.... no nothing just crimson swoosh. Is that right....?thanks in advance.

I mean your buddy is going to have to waste nearly 300 bucks for a football that doesn't even have the Alabama logo on it. The only difference between it and a typical Nike football is that the Nike logo is crimson (which is even hard to tell on a football).

Yeah seems this is the case. He found one on a big game site for 150 and it looks the one above. I thought 150was nuts but 300 is crazy nuts! Especially since it doesn’t have the script A or seal or anything to tell you it’s a Bama ball.

I think Bama is the only team that doesn't have their own logo on the game ball. Honestly, if I were him I'd tell him to look around and see if he can buy a game used ball instead. I've seen game used balls on Ebay and Facebook in the past that have gone for 300-500. If you are going to pay that much for the ball, buy one that was actually used in a game.

you'll be hard pressed to find a ball with the logo on it.

the schools provide those for the games and they have the logos put on there for them. so you can get the same ball, but it won't have that logo unless you can somehow find someone who can put one on there for you.

No, Alabama's game balls do not have the logo on it. Period.
