South Carolina’s heated 112-year football rivalry with Clemson now has an official moniker.

Athletic department officials from both schools announced Wednesday that the annual showdown will now be known as ‘The Palmetto Bowl’ and will receive its own trophy and logo which will be unveiled prior to the 2015 game.

The nickname has been around for years among staff, alumni and supporters.

Release from USC sports information:

“From `Big Thursday’ to `The Palmetto Bowl,’ there is so much history and tradition to showcase about this rivalry,” said South Carolina Director of Athletics Ray Tanner. “The Palmetto Bowl gives this rivalry an identity that highlights the State of South Carolina and the accomplishments of these outstanding institutions.”

“This is one of the premier games every year in college football, and it’s a great opportunity for our institutions to increase exposure to the State of South Carolina and all the great people here,” Clemson Director of Athletics Dan Radakovich said. “To name this game The Palmetto Bowl hopefully adds to the identity of this great rivalry.”

The Gamecocks and Tigers kick off at noon on Saturday.
