Here is a logo of another old college football bowl game, the Tangerine Bowl. Known as the “Little Bowl With The Big Heart”, it was played in Orlando, Florida from 1947 until 1982, when it was renamed the Florida Citrus Bowl, and eventually the Capitol One Bowl, which still exists today. In 1958, the University of Buffalo was invited to play in the game, but the team’s players voted unanimously to skip the game when they were informed their black players would not be welcome to participate. Times changed, however, and in 1966 Morgan State became the first historically black college to play in and win the game.
