En dash vs hyphens in this case

Alabama-football-themed art is a ten-million-dollar-a-year business, and Moore is the market’s undisputed don.

In that sentence, could I (and would you) leave "Alabama football" as an open compound, and then place an en dash between "football" and "themed"?

Example:

Alabama football–themed art is a ten-million-dollar-a-year business, and Moore is the market’s undisputed don.

Thank you.
