Give 'Em Nightmares Halloween recruiting graphic for UConn Football, a gloved hand holding a red balloon

Overview

Sent to UConn Football's 2027 and 2028 recruits to wish them luck in their games on Halloween weekend. The look takes after the iconic It (2017) balloon poster.

The player is kept anonymous with a changed number, and the back of the jersey carries each recruit's last name so every version feels personal.

The gloved hand holding the balloon is mine. I shot my own arm in a Nike glove in the photo studio, then edited the balloon in.
