We love this ball. Has anyone ever had luck patching it when the seam tears?

I have had some success with shoe goo, works best if you deflate ball so that seam surface is flat, generously apply shoe goo as directed, let it dry over night, patch should extend over hole 1/2 " all around

Is the ball you ship the one pictured?? I ordered 2 of these about 3 weeks ago and both that arrived were not the item shown.

I just ordered and received one and the ball is NOT the original Franklin Grip Tech football that I got for my son several years back. If you look in the product pictures the latter pictures show the original, with foam on the ends, whereas the one I just received had rubber on the ends and the words "Neo-grip" in the middle. The original football was better for younger kids due to the foam ends. Not sure if this is a recent change on the manufacturer's part or I received a fake ball.

Want blue and black only ... is this possible

Not sure as I did receive the blue one. But the football is what my son wanted not concerned with color.

Does this have a warranty? We buoght one in October 2017. 7 months later, it is not holding air. There is a leak somewhere.

I had the same issue. No warranty to really speak of. I was disappointed as well.
