What to do now with all those deflated footballs?
Now that the Superbowl is over, although the mystery of the deflated footballs that lead the New England Patriots to this point still lingers, what’s going to happen with all those deflated footballs? Don’t think they are reusable?
Here are just a few ideas for football oriented art and projects — something to ponder.
You need a lot more than 11 footballs to make this wonderful sculpture. Even though it’s made with the non-American football — soccer balls — but it’s certainly worth pondering:
Ballman by Ratcliffe Fowler Design is a giant sculpture made with 3,000 footballs displayed in the atrium of the Cariton Centre shopping mall in downtown Johannesburg, South Africa commissioned by Nike.
You can always make cupcakes!
Of course if you’re looking for a functional purpose for footballs, you can certainly follow these examples with tennis balls.
