Astonishing Rebs: Comic-Themed Game Poster Series Returns Along With Collectible Pins

Game Posters

LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com
) - UNLV Athletics has announced the return of its popular game poster series along with a new game pin series for the 2025 football season.
 
Designed by UNLV graphic artist Dean Pizzoferrato, each game poster will be designed in a comic book style featuring members of the Rebel football team, the team roster, and an activity for kids of all ages. Always free for fans, game posters will be placed at tables located inside Allegiant Stadium, with a limited number of posters available at each home date.
 
New for 2025, fans will be able to pick up a limited-edition game pin at home games this season. Each pin will be unique to the game and opponents, and will include similar design elements to the game poster. Pins will be available for fans at the Rebel Village Fan Zone in Lot C during each Saturday game, as well as the Torch Terrace for all six home games. The pins will be distributed free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis.
 
Pizzoferrato earned praise during UNLV's record-run last season with his "Desert Defenders" poster series and returned to the world of comics and trading cards for this year's inspiration.
 
"Collectibles have always been a huge part of my life so I was excited for the opportunity to help create a series of prints that tied along with UNLV football that fans could enjoy collecting themselves," said Pizzoferrato. "This year's 'Astonishing Rebs' series title treatment is also an homage to Jim Steranko's iconic X-Men logo. The classic hand-drawn vertical block lettering really ties together the spirit of this year's team and home poster campaign. The X-Men specifically have always been my favorite superhero franchise as I always thought they had the coolest characters and designs, but their focus was always on being a team of superheroes, which seems fitting for our squad. For a new giveaway this year, we came up with a really cool pin series that features bold colors with clean and simple designs that tie in with this year's posters. I really hope fans have fun collecting them all."

Fans are encouraged to arrive at Allegiant Stadium early to have the best opportunity to pick up a poster and pin for each home game this season.
