Summary:
The new water polo emoji uses an unrealistic water polo ball color.

Competition water polo balls are typically yellow or primarily yellow (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_polo_ball ). Some leagues allow for stripes of other colors on primarily yellow balls but the principle color is still yellow.

Steps to Reproduce:
Select a 'water polo' emoji 🤽 on a supported Apple platform (e.g. iOS 10.2), stare at ball and observe color.

Expected Results:
The water polo emoji 🤽 and gender/skin tone variants should use a typical ball color, i.e. yellow.

Actual Results:
It's blue.

Version:
iOS 10.2 and other Apple software implementing Unicode 9.0 emojis
