That top answer is hardly conclusive - it's definitely a possibility, but given the weird choices in the art for the "axe" (bendy handle, not a defined edge at the bottom) - I buy it could have been a yellow paint tube.
Nouns beginning with Y are not exactly easy to come across (the official "Yo-Yo" is hardly as common as the other words on the ball), and as has been pointed out, it's entirely possible the art was worked on by multiple people and changed or whatever.
Maybe the wrong-language thing is more likely (the U-boat choice is the thing that makes me lean this way the most), but I don't think the yellow paint tube idea is completely impossible.

- jack9 9y ago> I buy it could have been a yellow paint tube. I don't know how anyone would come to that conclusion. It's "definitely not possibly" (adverb chaining, really?) a tube squirting yellow in image. If ascribing modern symbolism to images rather than what's portrayed plainly, there's no reason that any of the images are symbolic of words starting with the appropriate letters.
- Latty 9y agoI mean, it's clearly not a well designed piece, otherwise this whole discussion wouldn't be here. I could easily say "no one would ever draw an axe with a bendy handle". The intent is obviously unclear given all this discussion. http://www.myiconfinder.com/uploads/iconsets/256-256-77393dd836ed2cb4f04c8af2a03f9818.png http://www.myiconfinder.com/uploads/iconsets/256-256-77393dd... A paint tube for colour is an icon that exists and gets used. The representation on the ball isn't far enough off I would rule it out.
