what color is is ball?

[shaunpinney]

Personally, I think it's all light & shade, dry or wet etc, you know the things that happen during game time. I'm obviously just going off pictures, and a little common sense, if I was gong to tamper with a match day ball, I think changing the colour of it would just be an idiotic thing to do.

But, wearing my criminology hat, it would be interesting to watch and analyse the plays, which receiver is the target etc, maybe certain WRs like their balls slightly damp etc...

Apologies I just re-read that comment, I was talking about footballs....

It may be like when I was a child playing conkers, you'd get your conker and you could bake it gently in an oven to harden the outer shell, or sometimes soak it in vinegar first this would also toughen the outer shell

Okay, prove it's a lighting issue. I would suggest that you watch the game on NFL replay. I see it. The packers players and coaches noticed it, and all I am doing is seeing if anyone else can see it.

I'm working through this thread
But the other shots are way more clear as to the darkness or lightness of color

Even here, it's like they are teasing us. Stranger by the day.

Unleash the crayon-gate investigations!

Yes, I think this is silly, yet indicative of the popularity of our current super bowl champions, and it ...

couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys

I had literally never heard of that game before and had to look it up.

Is there a full-contact version?

Either pinkish or blue, depending on how your date went.

is ball same color bown?

Look at the helmets on player 43 and player 95 for Broncos. Different shades of blue I tell you. Different shades of blue! This can only mean one thing....or does it mean more...or does it mean less?

The irony of the stuttering thread title is not lost on me.

Just trying to get people to admit simple facts. Before anything goes any further there has to be people looking at the shots and being honest . . . which most have done. So, before we can get to the "So?" I wanted to see how honest people were on what they see. The ones who didn't see it were proven to be off the mark with shifting "reasons" for something they didn't see.

Get to the "So."

 

[Faceplant]

What reason would Rams fans have to be "dishonest" about what color a ball is?? Still confused here....

 

[Faceplant]

Get to the "So."

Please.

t could be shadows and lighting as well.

My first rational thought. Photography and lighting conditions are not an absolute.

Yeah, that wouldn't be anyone's first thought. It's so obvious that I didn't post it. But, I guess, that's why there were two buses.

But I posted video stills from plays that were just 2-3 plays apart, to mitigate that. Same with the other shots. Even allowing for all the obvious stuff, the balls do not look the same, do they?

Sorry, man. I'm not buying it.

That's fine. Not selling anything. I see a color difference, you don't. I appreciate a simple answer to a simple question.
