“Pitch and Run” collection offers patriotic comfort and style from fairways to fireworks
Bordentown, NJ – Bobby Jones, celebrating the iconic apparel brand’s 25th anniversary in 2014, today unveiled a new summer selection of luxury apparel showcasing America’s favorite color palette in a contemporary, sophisticated manner that would make the brand’s namesake proud.

“To create a summer clothing offering that is true to who Bobby Jones was we designed a collection that proudly showcases the colors of our Nation,” said Andy Bell, President/CEO of Jones Global Sports. “In addition to our brand’s namesake being one of the greatest golfers to ever live, Mr. Jones also was a tremendous patriot. As early as age 15, Mr. Jones was part of an extended golf exhibition tour to raise money for the American Red Cross during the First World War, and he followed that up, by serving on the front lines in World War II at age 42, actually having been part of the second wave entering Normandy on D-Day Plus One.”
