Why do they need a little pink ribbon on the ball which nobody can see?

I had the same question. My guess is that after using them they are going to raffle them off for charity.
Hard to believe that a little logo would affect a player's grip on the ball, but athletes who play at a high level can be very sensitive to such things. Remember the NBA players a few years ago when they switched to a synthetic ball.
I don't see anybody using this ball as an excuse. Rather, it is just a possible explanation for some turnovers. What I haven't heard is whether there has actually been an increase in turnovers since these balls were put into play. If not, then we have nothing to talk about.
