    This whole thing is starting to remind me of the "New Coke" publicity stunt.

    Oh, wise sage, can you please explain the stunt for those of us who weren't halfway to retirement in 1985?

    It looks cool, but it is not just look of the ball important.

    Damn, I guess that was twenty years ago.

    Quote Originally Posted by Wikipedia
    New Coke was the unofficial name of the sweeter drink introduced in 1985 by The Coca-Cola Company to replace its flagship soda, Coca-Cola or Coke. Properly speaking, it had no separate name of its own, but was simply the new version of Coke, until 1992 when it was renamed Coke II.

    Public reaction to the change was devastating, and the new cola quickly entered the pantheon of major marketing flops. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula led to a significant gain in sales. Although the company insisted, and the historical record suggests, it was an unplanned reaction to the perceived rejection of New Coke, many urban legends and conspiracy theories that continue to circulate claim it was planned all along and offer various reasons for it.

    And a lesser person would make the obvious joke, but I shall refrain from it.
