pigskin
Leather for footballs
Pigskin is leather made from pig hide, used for gloves, footballs, and other goods.
In American English, pigskin commonly refers to a football itself, even though modern footballs are typically cowhide: He loved throwing the pigskin around on Thanksgiving.
The term evokes casual, nostalgic football culture.
