The ones in the kit have a simple tag on them & say (c) 2009.
Makes sense they were discontinued, & possibly the company was contacted by FIRST to make new ones??
I'm just guessing here though.

I noticed that when the balls we purchased at Wallmart break straight across the band at a 90 degree angle, however the bands on balls from kickoff seemed to have broken at an angle creating a sharp point that would poke through the fabric.
I wonder if the (c)2007 balls are constructed slightly differently from the (c) 2009 balls?
