Watermelon Football, Bourbon by Leather Head Sports

Meticulously researched and designed, our Watermelon Style football is an authentic reproduction of the original football used in the Jim Thorpe era.

Pre-1929, before the forward pass, the football was quite plump.  It resembled watermelon, thus the nickname "watermelon football"
