No packing/box, but good football
I have no complaint with the football itself. The football is high quality and arrived in a timely fashion. I was only annoyed by the lack of packaging as this was a Christmas present for my son. The ball arrived inflated, but just inside an Amazon box. No Wilson packaging whatsoever (unexpected). A minor detail but worth sharing if looking to purchase as a gift. If you don't care about the Wilson Box then this football is for you.

Great grip, came pumped up, great football. Prefer this over the ncaa replica ball but is roughly $20 bucks more but the quality is better for a replica. Nike vapor replica putting Wilson to the test. Would like to see which one holds up better.

Size: Youth Size (7th-8th grade; Ages 12-14)Verified Purchase
My son really wanted this football for Christmas and of course I was iffy about spending more then the other footballs out there. But he absolutely loves it and honestly I love it too!
Playing catch with my son is something we truly enjoy. He’s all about training for football and letting his Mama help him. This football is the best by far that we own.
It’s definitely one of his top presents he got for Christmas!

Great ball for us Aussies. Cheaper than the rubber rubbish you get in the sportstores here.
Being composite, it makes for a robust and long lasting ball that you can use anywhere.
Looks good in my mancave too...
