pig skin
Informal football term
Pigskin is leather made from the hide of a pig, used for gloves, footballs, and other goods.
In American English, pigskin commonly refers to a football itself, since the balls were traditionally made from pig leather: Let's toss the pigskin around.
The term appears in football contexts generally: pigskin season, pigskin predictions.
