In Mississippi, cannonballs may be more common than tennis balls.

The creative staff at Maris, West & Baker visualizes that notion in a new branding campaign for the Southern Tennis Series.

The Jackson, Miss., shop’s initial effort—a sepia-toned poster— depicts a Civil War-era cannon (a kind of 19th century Pete Sampras) facing the net on a tennis court. A triangular pile of tennis balls is stacked alongside. The tagline: “Gotta match?”

“We wanted to communicate the fact that the series will consist of powerful, world-class tennis,” said agency art director Keith Fraser.
