The ball is about 11 inches (28 cm) long and about 22 inches (56 cm) in circumference at the center. The exterior of the ball is made of leather, which is required in professional and collegiate football. Footballs used in recreation may be made of rubber or plastic materials. Polyvinyl chloride or leather laces are inserted through the perforations, to provide a grip for holding, hiking and passing the football.
Before play, the ball is inflated to an air pressure of 12.5–13.5 psi (86–93 kPa). The ball weighs 14–15 ounces (397–425 g).
Regardless of the material used in manufacturing, the ball is sometimes colloquially referred to as a pigskin

They are basically the same size; the stripe is the main physical difference.

pretty much, the stripe is different and the type of ball, such as make is probably different but they are basically the same.
