Tampa Bay Rowdies are an American professional soccer team based in Tampa Bay, Florida, set to begin play in 2010. The team will be an expansion member of the USL First Division, the second tier of the American Soccer Pyramid; the news of the expansion was announced on June 18, 2008. [cite news|url=http://www.tampabay.com/sports/soccer/article633711.ece|title=Tampa Bay Rowdies to get new life in USL|last=Encina|first=Eduardo A.|date=2008-06-19|publisher=St. Petersburg Times|language=english|accessdate=2008-06-20]

A stadium deal has not been finalized, but the team is seeking approval for rezoning of a small 15.3-acre farm parcel at Waters Ave. and the Veterans Expressway in Tampa. The parcel is owned by the Laxer family, one of the members of the ownership group. David Laxer is also owner of the famous Bern's Steak House in Tampa which is known for the worlds largest collection of wines. The stadium, when built, will be privately financed in whole.

The team is named for the former Tampa Bay Rowdies which competed in the old North American Soccer League in the 1970s and 1980s. The new USL team will use the same green and yellow colors of the former Rowdies.

Logo

According to an official press release, the new team logo is meant to invoke the past through the use of a traditional shield shape, stripes and a traditional soccer ball in the top portion of the shield.

The star above the shield represents the North American Soccer League (NASL) Championship won by the original Rowdies in 1975. Additionally, the stripes were worn on the sleeves of the original kit of the Rowdies. The new logo adds a navy border to the color scheme to set the USL-1 team apart from the original NASL team.
