In the early history, the shape of a soccer ball is not really what it is now. There are shape of a human's head, skull of a pig or cow and a stitched cloth. Since there is no advance technology during that time, they just invent something that can be kicked. It is indeed evident that the sport started a long time ago without any idea of what a rubber ball is.
It was in the 18th century when a rubber ball was created. It started to look like a pig's bladder until it develops into the ball there is now. The first two companies who produced are Mitre and Thonlinsom. They are the one's responsible for the rubber materials that is applied to make the foot comfortable upon kicking it.
In the 19th century, a lot of designs were already coming out and has started make it look more durable and different colors has come out. The first colors are white and grey until they designed an orange color to be easily seen during the snow. The shape of a soccer ball during that time is already synthetic which is used nowadays. The FIFA then made the standard size, weight and type of the ball for every football match.
The soccer ball is continuing to develop it becomes more elegant, with great color and designs. There are already so many producers of the item and it became a hit to the buyers. It can be use not just for playing but as a decoration as well.
