01 / The sponsorship

Seven home games. One pregame ritual.

As the Official Bank Sponsor of University of Texas Athletics, Huntington Bank had a presence on Bevo Blvd before Longhorns home games. Working with Forefront Networks, Craft & Yap brought a walk-up Bandana Bracelet Bar to Huntington’s tent as part of a seven-home-game partnership.

Before kickoff, fans could stop by the tent, make a bracelet and wear it into the stadium.

02 / The customization

Pick your braid. Choose two charms.

Every braided bandana bracelet came with a custom Huntington Bank charm designed for the activation. Fans then picked two additional charms from Western styles and football motifs, making each bracelet their own.

We brought the bracelet materials, curated the charm selection and staffed the station. The format was simple enough to fit into the pregame rush while giving guests a choice in what they took home.
