Game Day! Your Blue Gender Reveal Football Questions, Answered
Each blue gender reveal football is a 6" handcrafted ball packed with vibrant blue powder. A hard punt, a strong throw to the ground or a spike breaks the shell and releases a big blue burst, while an accidental drop will not set it off.
- Punt it: a solid punt gives the biggest, highest blue cloud.
- Spike it: slam it straight down in the end zone for an up-close burst.
- Throw it hard: a firm throw at the ground or a wall works too. A soft catch will not open it.
- Missed? Grab a spare from the 2 or 4 Pack and go again.
Most families choose the 2 Pack so there is a spare for a practice kick or a second camera angle. The 4 Pack is our best value: perfect for nervous kickers or letting Dad, big brother and Grandpa each take a turn announcing it's a boy.
Yes. This football is filled with blue powder only, made for families who already know it's a boy and want to announce it in style. Keeping the secret until the big moment? Shop our pink or blue gender reveal football instead.
Our powder is non-toxic, cornstarch-based and biodegradable. It brushes off and washes out of most clothing with a regular wash and rinses off grass and patios with a hose. Keep it away from eyes and delicate fabrics.
Go all in on game day: blue team jerseys for guests, a "Future Linebacker" banner and a field-goal photo backdrop. Let Dad punt the blue football while guests fire our blue confetti cannons and set off blue smoke bombs. Find more ideas in our sports gender reveal ideas guide.
Yes. Every football is handcrafted with a sturdy shell and carefully packaged to arrive ready for game day. Store it at room temperature until the party. If anything ever arrives damaged, our support team will make it right.
Film in slow motion from the side, about 10–15 feet from the kicker, with the sun behind the camera. Shoot during golden hour so the blue really pops, and add our blue smoke bombs so the whole crowd erupts in blue.

Touchdown! It's a Boy
Line up the kick of your life, punt it, throw it hard or spike it in the end zone, and watch the ball burst into a huge cloud of blue powder as you announce your little linebacker.
