TAMPA BAY BOWL ASSOCIATION REVEALS NEW NAME & LOGO
Tampa, FL -- Tampa Bay Bowl Association officials today release the new logo and name for the bowl game in Tampa known previously as the Outback Bowl. The “Tampa Bay Bowl” will continue the game’s long tradition of playing in the New Year’s Day lineup of college football bowl games. The Bowl’s TV Network partnership with ESPN and its conference affiliations with the SEC and Big Ten/ACC remain unchanged.
“We are thrilled about our new Tampa Bay Bowl logo and name which is a reflection of our 36-year relationship with the vibrant Tampa Bay region as one of the most exciting and hospitable destinations of any college bowl game,” notes Tampa Bay Bowl Chair Rita Lowman. “We look forward to continuing the Tampa Bay Bowl’s positive impact on college football and the Tampa Bay community, both economically and by showcasing our region nationally and internationally. The Tampa Bay Bowl will continue to impact local charities through the game’s Charitable Giving Initiative which has given more than $3 million in donations to local charities since 2016.”
“We recognize and appreciate the past sponsorship of Outback Steakhouse as we continue to move forward,” added Lowman.
