This American football fan family decided to use their enthusiasm for the sport to reveal the gender of their baby.

The video, shot in 2016 in Homer, MI, USA, shows a man kicking the ball, letting pink powder escape, meaning the baby will be a girl.

"We made 2 footballs out of paper mache and put colored powder in them one pink and one blue," the filmer wrote online.

"We had our photographer open the envelope and give us the correct football," she added.

My family is big football fans so we decided to use football to reveal the gender of our surprise baby. We were able to use the local High school football field. We made 2 footballs out of paper mache and put colored powder in them 1 pink and 1 blue. We had our photographer open the envelope and give us the correct football!!
