FAYETTEVILLE Author Stephen King wrote, “Sooner or later, everything old is new again.” And while King might have stated this regarding writing his books that keep many of us awake at night, for University of Arkansas athletics fans who love vintage logos, the quote also applies.
Welcome “Pitching Ribby”, the newest “old” logo in the Razorbacks’ College Vault collection. Designed by former Razorback baseball player, Larry Barton (1982-83) and updated by IMG Digital Media Specialist AJ Enloe, Pitching Ribby joins Hitting Ribby representing the Diamond Hogs.
Similar in design, the left-hander is positioned amid its windup. Ribby is adorned in a baseball cap and jersey featuring the Old English A and the number 1. The high, right leg kick has Ribby ready to deliver the pitch to a waiting hitter.
The club has taken the decision to close the Saints Store at Westquay from January 31. This is said to be a part of the ongoing improvements to the clubs retail offering. The news comes after a complete overhaul of Southampton FC s online retail store at the start of this year. The club claimed the change helped to better serve the ever increasing number of supporters who wish to purchase their Saints merchandise and products online rather than in store . With the percentage of transactions completed online vs in store expected to continue to rise, it has been decided that it is no longer viable to operate two physical stores within a one-mile radius of each other.
