The basic shape of pentagons and hexagons is almost always the same, but the black-white color combo is pretty rare - the balls are usually white with colorful designs and use paited shapes other than the ‘basic’ petagons and hexagons.
For example, take the soccer wikipedia page The image on the side shows a ball with a design that looks like the emoji well enough at a glance, but you’ll see it’s quite different. If you go on the wikipedia list page for FIFA World Cup balls you’ll see that the ‘Tango’ style lasted for 6 competitions while the ‘Telstar’ (the one in the emoji) lasted only 2. After 2000 the designs got really wild and nothing like the Telstar. And that’s just looking at FIFA World Cups, ignoring all other competitions and events, as well as balls you could buy at a store
If you were to go look at the balls in a sports shop with some 5-6 models of soccer balls, sure, you’ll most likely find a ball that matches the Telstar aesthethic more or less closely, but there will be a lot of variation in the designs that are nothing like the Telstar, as opposed to balls for other sports which are much more standardized.

I can’t see how Unity increasing prices is anti-competitive. If anything, them going brainfuck with fees can only serve to open the market to new players. Also, I doubt they’ll be able to make the fees retroactive, at least for games that won’t get updated.
