The Walt Disney World logo will appear on the University of Central Florida Knights’ football helmets this season, beginning at the Big 12 Conference game against the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs at Acrisure Bounce House on Saturday, September 26.
Walt Disney World x UCF Football Helmet
The official Walt Disney World logo will be printed on the helmet’s rear bumper. In the photo seen above, the gold helmet is in the middle, along with an American flag and the Monster Energy drink logo.
The white and black helmet will also feature the logo. “XII,” the number 12 in Roman numerals, is also shown on the helmet. This references the Big 12 Conference, which is a college athletic organization that competes in Division I of the NCAA. UCF and TCU, among others, are members of this division.
Meanwhile, the official UCF logo is printed on the sides of the helmet.
“Walt Disney World is part of the fabric of Central Florida, and we are incredibly proud to feature its logo on our football helmets,” UCF Vice President and Director of Athletics Terry Mohajir said.
“This relationship brings together two organizations with deep roots in our community, tremendous national reach and a shared belief in creating memorable experiences. We appreciate Walt Disney World’s investment in UCF Athletics and we are excited to showcase this relationship during our Big 12 opener at the Bounce House.”

“UCF is an important part of our community, and we are proud to expand on our longstanding relationship in a way that celebrates the spirit of Central Florida,” Sivonne Davis, Vice President of Marketing Strategy at Walt Disney World Resort, said.
“We are excited to see the Walt Disney World logo on the Knights’ helmets as they compete for the Big 12 Conference championship and beyond.”
The sponsorship was made to create new opportunities for Disney and UCF Athletics to engage Knights fans and celebrate the region of Central Florida.
UCF is about a 35-minute drive from Walt Disney World Resort.
