My favorite football maker is Wilson now. I love how their balls are made in the USA! My current Rawlings ball is made in Thailand and it is shitty. But, who am I to rate footballs because I play rugby, and the best ball maker for rugby balls is Gilbert. GO WILSON! GO GILBERT! GO AMERICAN FOOTBALL! GO RUGBY! GO USA!!!!
BULLSHIT! I saw this video a while back and really wanted one..and my sister said she would get it for me my 64th birthday..i told her it had to be Wilson..i told her it had to say NFL..i told her it had to say official size...and thats what she bought me.looking at it..i see a tiny barcode that has been pressed into the leather with tiny writing..i get my magnifing glass out...'MADE IN CHINA'...this is wrong after expecting a ball made by Wilson..made in the USA
it is a Wilson NFL Official football...licensed by Wilson to make a cheaper ball in China..i found out if you don't pay at least $80.00..its made in China..don't get me wrong..it's a nice ball...but the tiny print under the valve that says made in China..should be bigger and somewhere more obvious on the packaging..it's misleading the way it is..
@sfchild i know dude i got the team collectibales one (i wanted a packers one but all they had was dallas cowboys) and inprinted (quite big to ne honest) MADE IN CHINA total bullshit
we;ve been throwing around a wilson NFL street football the past few weeks, and it says "Made in China" on it...guess only certain wilson balls are made in the USA :(
@usc23cal9 All "leather" footballs are made there. The ones that you see that are made in China, etc, are like $20 composite leather footballs... common ones that you buy in stores that you see kids using in the street.
Everyone in the video has been with the company for 30-40 years. That shows the amount of integrity and dedication the employees have in their work. That's why Wilson is the Official Game Ball of the NFL.
The last statement is not true. The first 4 Super Bowls were AFL vs. NFL. The AFL used a Spalding J5V football and the AFL teams did score in the first 4 Super Bowls. The won SB III & IV
Why aren't the chinks making these? I'm sure they can do it cheaper...but they would probably try to use dog skins instead of cow hide. They'd also use lead foil and give their employees poisoned milk.
OK, maybe it's better that the U.S. has at least ONE product that's made in America.
Made in the USA. Lets hope this plant continues to be in the USA employing local people. We need more factories in the US. Lets change incentives and mindsets of corporate America so they will put more of their manufacturing plants in the US.
Egads! Those employees, doing those same tasks day after day, month after month, year after year, for twenty or thirty or more years! Those people look like machine parts themselves, don't they? I hope their work lives aren't as monotonous and mechanical as this video makes it look like. I don't know how they can stand it.
uh oh....the all so-serious people are here....bringing up taxes etc on a football video. avoid at all costs, theyre easy to spot too ----------> over there, where there's no women around.
Love it! Americans will pay millions to a man to run up and down a field with a football yet they are only willing to pay just over the poverty level those who are responsible for the care, nurturing and educating their children.
Thanks Wilson for keeping this place still running strong !
I don't play football, but love to watch it. I wish I can play it. I will go out to buy one, after watching this video for souvenir...original hand-made in the USA with real leather !!! NOT a Chinese/Vietmese made.
Look at the muscles on that older gentleman flipping the balls inside out. I'll bet anyone today this guy can outwork a young man. It takes commitment and his arms show it. I salute you, sir!
very interesting, and I like how the man 'hosting' this video showed respect for the workers by knowing their names and how long they have worked at Wilson.
The guy that turns the balls inside out should be getting a heck of a lot more $ than whatever they are paying him. I'll bet I'd last about 5 min in that job! It is great that this factory hasn't moved offshore - a kudo to Wilson for this, at least!
@jkahwaty Because the greedy bosses want every possible penny out of their products & they don't give a fuck about ANY WORKERS.
U can thank Billy Blow Job Clinton for NAFTA. Then REAGAN for the push against UNIONS- Air Traffic Controller ring a bell? And all the greedy corporations that send jobs overseas-Bill Gates-THANKS SCUMBAG. cAN U EVEN understand a computer tech on the phone? NO all from India
No one cares that you are an ASSHOLE and probably can't get friend. You probably have to tie a bone around your neck to get a dog to play with you (with that type of attitude).
@IronMikeHouston probably can't get friend.??? IS THAT LIKE GETTING HEAD? CAN'T GET FRIEND? OR ARE YOU SUCH A FUCKING IDIOT THAT YOU CAN'T WRITE ENGLISH CORRECTLY ASSHOLE? LOL
Fucking moron. GOT FRIEND? LOL asshole fuck off already LOSER.
You are a LOSER and probably have to wear a bone around your neck to get a dog to like you! I bet you don't even have a job that pays more than $10/hour!
i thought this was supposed to be about wilson making footballs, not your garbage talk about taxes and bullshit. if i want to read about that, ill go to cnn. this is youtube. shut the fuck up!
Yes the unions are part of the problem. NAFTA also. Democrats taxing us until we run out of money is the largest problem the people in this country have.
@rmartin7799 Are you kidding? Americans pay some of the lowest taxes in the industrialized world. If you make less than $250K, the Democrats actually LOWERED your taxes over the last 2 years. Without taxes, no roads, no bridges, no schools, no airports, no police, no fire departments, and on and on. How about we cut military funding and end the 2 costly and stupid wars we are in if you want to save tax dollars, rather than blame workers who deserve a living wage.
@wyattnoahliko The problem of job loss has nothing to do with unions and everything to do with tax policies and trade agreements like NAFTA, which encourage the off-shoring of jobs to countries where workers don't make enough to afford one meal a day in America, let alone clothing and housing. Wilson should be applauded for putting their workers ahead of the urge for massive profits.
Why is the American middle class disappearing? Look in the mirror.
@nrf91 You are correct, in part, but when you say "the problem of job loss has nothing to do with unions", I have to ask, what union are you a member of?
@wyattnoahliko None. I haven't been part of a union since I had a part time job at a department store in college. Back then I thought unions were dumb. Now I understand that unions help to raise the wages and benefits of ALL working people and not just union members. Without unions, workers have no means of collectively bargaining for better wages and benefits. Corporations face less pressure to compete on wages and we all become wage slaves. I see unions as a necessary evil.
@nrf91 Now you are absolutely wrong. Unions are, and have been for a long time, sucking every dime and benifit from their employers that they can possibly get without regard for the well being of the companies that provide the very jobs they need. There once was a genuine need for unions, now they are like parasites devouring the host until nothing is left.. The auto industry is one huge example, also the California teachers unions, public employee unions and many more.
@wyattnoahliko Thanks so much for the Fox News approved right wing talking points. Never mind the real parasites, which are Wall Street and its pressure on corporations to grow profits every quarter even if that means at the expense of employee wages, benefits and even jobs. Never mind that executive pay has skyrocketed while worker pay has stagnated over the last 30 years. You just keep on blaming the workers. That's exactly what the GOP-DEM corporatists want.
@wyattnoahliko Actually, I fit in fine here. It's you free market tea bagging fascists who belong somewhere else - Somalia seems like the right place. Let me know if you need help with a ticket (one way, of course).
@wyattnoahliko Some unions are good. But, then again, there are some really really bad ones like the Teacher's Union that keep bad teachers from getting fired. But, I agree with you on everything here. Long live Capitalism! Proudly made in the USA!
Wow! I would love to know "why" those employees have stayed there so long...that's unheard of today. What is their motivation/inspiration for staying there year after year.
If someone from Wilson could give some insight into that I would appreciate it.
This was sent to me as an email. Went to You Tube to see again. Extremely interesting. Now I know how they are made finally. Thanks "Wilson" for making a GREAT American product.
@Kool...They've been working there over 30 years. Does that sound like they're not happy? The manufacturing process is fascinating. It's a wonder things don't cost more than they do. We're so fickle...if it costs too much, we won't buy it, so they send to China for manufacturing.
Emmett trained me to turn footballs! Haha, what they don't tell you is that everybody in that video (except old Glen) gets paid piece-rate, so we don't have this holy devotion to quality like they pretend, we whip them out as fast as we can, so that we can make the biggest checks we can. The inspectors sort out the rest. @Jsavolainen we only make leather balls in Ada. Yours is beneath us.
Thats a 20 dollar Chinese ball. The game authentics made in USA are like 60-70. you pay for the labor and much higher quality materials. You get what you pay for. Nothing beats the real leather feel though.
Bakerskater you can buy the authentic super bowl game day balls, and nfl game day on amazon for about $80, and you can also find them on google. But look for the super bowl game day balls to be about $130 each.
hey guys i was just wondering where can i buy a real nfl football like those, or if i can get one. i have a nfl ball that says the duke that looks like that except the laces are alot different
I just got a Wilson GST leather game ball for Christmas, its sweet. High school/NCAA standard size, black laces, and grip stripes (white stripes aren't painted on, they are white composite leather stripes that are sewed on) Stop at 4:42 and the bottom left basket is filled with them.
Thanks Wilson for making all those footballs. I just got my autographed ball back from your factory. People out there should know that if they have a collectable/autographed ball that goes flat that you can repair it. Great job ! I love football and Wilson is football..THANKS !
Pretty cool.Now watch this kid play football with the appropriate name.Ben Wilson #1.Was voted by O-D football camp as the number 1 youth player in the country.You will be amazed.
Beautiful!!! These are not Occu-balls. These footballs are made by skilled, honest, hard-working Americans!

Bakerskater you can buy the authentic super bowl game day balls, and nfl game day on amazon for about $80, and you can also find them on google. But look for the super bowl game day balls to be about $130 each.

I just got a Wilson GST leather game ball for Christmas, its sweet. High school/NCAA standard size, black laces, and grip stripes (white stripes aren't painted on, they are white composite leather stripes that are sewed on) Stop at 4:42 and the bottom left basket is filled with them.

For those who asked if the NFL game ball, aka "The Duke", it's a great ball. Also, the Wilson 1005 NCAA game ball are great.

Thanks Wilson for making all those footballs. I just got my autographed ball back from your factory. People out there should know that if they have a collectable/autographed ball that goes flat that you can repair it. Great job ! I love football and Wilson is football..THANKS !
