What nickname is stamped on every official NFL football? Explained
The National Football League's official game ball bears the moniker "The Duke" as a tribute to Wellington Mara, the enduring owner of the New York Giants, who was named after the Duke of Wellington. Wilson Sporting Goods, the producer of NFL balls since 1941, christened the ball in honor of Wellington Mara to acknowledge his father Tim Mara for securing the deal that designated Wilson as the NFL's official football supplier. Initially employed from 1941 until 1970, the nickname resurfaced on the game ball in 2006 following Wellington Mara's passing in 2005.
