Tampa Bay Sports Commission Teams with Nike as Official Apparel Provider
Nike Partnership Will Outfit Future Tampa Bay Youth and Amateur Events; Support Additional Sports Commission Programming
TAMPA, FL – The Tampa Bay Sports Commission (TBSC) and global brand Nike have announced an exclusive apparel partnership, designed to enhance and impact TBSC’s local youth programming and events. It was announced recently by TBSC Executive Director, Lanness Robinson.
Nike, now the official apparel provider partner of the Tampa Bay Sports Commission, will outfit the TBSC and its youth-centric events beginning immediately. The TBSC-Nike partnership will also expand over to the annual Tampa Bay Sneaker Soiree, the community’s premier off-the-field event.
At the grassroots level, both the TBSC and Nike will collaborate to reinvest in Team Tampa Bay, enhancing the impactful experiences for hundreds of Tampa Bay youth who engage with TBSC’s yearly sports programming, helping craft maximum opportunities for all.
As one of the world’s most recognizable brands, Nike has a long history of supporting youth sport initiatives, outfitting all in championship fashion, while inspiring youth participation at all levels. Those qualities correspond directly with the TBSC’s passion for growing the game and elevating experiences for athletes and the community as a whole.
“The Nike brand is synonymous with winning and championships—values that define our organization," said Robinson. “Partnering with Nike is a great opportunity for our organization. From youth programming and community initiatives to signature events like the Sneaker Soiree, the iconic Swoosh will help elevate our impact across Tampa Bay.”
