BURLEY-SEKEM

'Burley' is a popular brand of football used in Australian rules football and made by the 'Burley-Sekem' company. The company has been manufacturing footballs in Australia since 1906 when the Burley brothers began making Burley brand balls in East Perth. The founder of Burley Footballs was Joseph Leonard Burley.
Both Sherrin and Burley footballs must fit strict dimensions (including weight) set by the Australian Football League. There are four types of Burley footballs - Team, Match, Attack and Premier. The bladders are identical. Both balls are made using leather from the same Victorian tannery.
