2 sides of the pigskin
Playing football is more than what you do on the field. Football is shaped by who you are as a person and what you strive to do as a player.
What is 2 sides of the pigskin?
This project explores the deeper story of college football by looking at both sides of the game and the people who play it beyond the field. The use of the word Pigskin comes from the material used to make footballs, but also symbolizes the bond shared among players. Just like the leather that is stitched together to form the ball, these athletes are connected through brotherhood, sacrifice, and a shared love for the game that shapes who they are on and off the field.
