The trophy, which wasn’t introduced until 2015, weighs over 180 lbs and took 40 consecutive hours for a water jet machine to cut the thick outline of Arkansas and Missouri! These two teams are set to meet Nov. 28 in Columbia, Mo.! Can Arkansas bring the prestigious trophy back to Fayetteville? Find out in a few short weeks!
The heavy trophy, which is sponsored by Shelter Insurance, is 4’4″ tall and has nearly a 2-and-a-half foot base only took 3 1/2 days of hand polish time during production. While the majority of the production of the trophy occurred in Central Arkansas, there were also segments of the process that occurred in California and Maryland. Former Arkansas Razorback football star and 103.7 The Buzz radio personality David Bazzel served as both the Designer and Project Lead. Bazzel also helped create “The Battle For The Golden Boot”; an intense, annual gridiron rivalry between the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Louisiana State University Tigers. Bazzel also founded the Little Rock Touchdown Club, one of the nation’s largest and fastest-growing football clubs that recognizes the top players and coaches from college and high school teams each year.
It was an absolute pleasure working on this magnificent trophy for the Arkansas Razorbacks and David Bazzell. Interested in Supreme Fixture Co., Inc. working on a project of yours? Call us at 501-455-2552 or email us at info@supremefixture.com for a FREE quote!
