A History of the Football is the first book to examine the history of the gridiron football; the evolutionary path it took from its rugby ball origins to today's distinctive prolate spheroid. Richly illustrated with period images, the book examines how and why the football changed in shape, size, colors, added stripes, and gained inflation standards, all while describing these changes in the context of the game's evolution.
