Gary Fixter - Evolution Of The Soccer Ball Over Time Football (or football, football or football) has come a long way since the first man kicked a stone. The sport of football (football) has developed over time into a popular past - a time that we know and love today. Gary Fixter - Football technology was so diverse back then that the balls were very different in size. Shape and even in the type of rubber they were made from. From the early bubbles of animals such as pigs (usually). football balls evolved technologically enormously over the years to Charles Goodyear's version. Of newly patented vulcanized rubber from 1836. When the 1900s came. The Soccerball consisted of a stronger rubber that allowed it. To withstand heavy pressure. You could feel leather footballs then, which made for a more constant flight and bounce.

Players could no longer defeat opponents who were not in possession of the ball. And a net was introduced and larger balls were used similar to football balls. The production of football boots shifted to the production of lighter football boots. To kick and control the ball. Rather than simply making protective boots.
