Scottsdale, AZ – August 2021 – This week Team IP had the pleasure of traveling to Scottsdale, AZ for the Bowl Season Annual Meeting and Trade Show. This meeting pulls in all 45 college bowl games along with each of the conferences and many of the national TV networks to discuss all things “Bowl Season” related. 

Bowl Season is the collective coalition of the 44 bowl games played in the traditional college football postseason. Dubbed "A Celebration of College Football," Bowl Season promotes the grand tradition of the bowl system and its endearing value to student-athletes. It also highlights the broader university and college communities, including spirit squads, marching bands, athletic staff, and fans. A nonprofit, Bowl Season spotlights the distinctiveness of each of the bowl games along with their histories and traditions, embracing and honoring the bowl experience for present and future generations.

"We are thrilled to have a full slate of bowl games scheduled for next season," said Nick Carparelli, executive director of Bowl Season. "Last year dealt us many challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we have expectations that stadiums will be operating at full capacity again which will undoubtedly mean a memorable experience for student-athletes, fans, universities, and communities. College football and Bowl Season is back, and we couldn't be more excited." 

This year Team IP will hold the largest market share of college bowl games by any one company by being the official souvenir merchandiser and online retail provider to 19 of the 44 post-season bowl games.

“It’s an honor to be a part of Bowl Season, and all of our bowl partnerships, which is my favorite time of the year. After last season we are excited to return to the stadiums and do what we do best. Bring on the team hotels, pre-bowl events, and GAMEDAY!”  Randy Sparks Team IP CEO and Founder

About Action Face: A storied group of senior executives from Hasbro and Activision (toys and video games) has secured a ‘Dream Team’ nationally to create the technology known as Action Face.  The patent-pending iOS app utilizes the iPhone’s facial recognition technology to create an individual's ‘Action Face’, 3D print it in full color, and ship it directly to their house within 2 weeks. What Action Face is bringing to life has been a DREAM of the entertainment industry for as long as anyone can remember. It is common for big entertainment companies to spend $2000+ to create a “custom action figure” for an A-list celebrity or visiting VIP, like the CEO of Walmart, as the ultimate honorary gift. Without the benefit of Action Face, that process takes weeks and can only be given to a handful of people each year. The mission of Action Face is to bring the honor of a "custom action figure of you" to everyone who deserves one. Learn more at www.ActionFace.me/Demo
