About the ball

 * No one quite knows why, but he owns a green aura around him, resembling a pack of leaves.
 * The ball's flag is from the shield in the coat of arms, since there is no other logo or flag to the town. "Acorn Acorn" (the börk) is inspired from the two acorns in the image, and the common rate of natural waste on the ground (including fell acorns and maple samaras "colloquially called helicopters in the town because of the way they fall spinning to the ground"). When maples start to fall, the citizens traditionally view them as a sign that spring or autumn is coming.
