Rock – Chalk – Bobblehead

Posted May 10, 2024

If you are a KU fan, and you think you have all the collectible swag and stuff – you don’t have this.

This first-of-its-kind bobblehead features Kansas’ mascot, Big Jay, standing on an actual piece of the court that Kansas played on when it won the 2022 Men’s Basketball National Championship in New Orleans, Louisiana, on April 4, 2022. The release comes ahead of the University of Kansas Commencement Ceremony on Sunday, May 12th when many of the students who witnessed Kansas’ title will graduate.

The limited edition bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of the University of Kansas. The first series of Game Used Championship Court Bobbleheads features Baylor (2021 Men’s Champions), Kansas (2022 Men’s Champions), and LSU (2023 Women’s Champions) with additional schools coming soon.

Each bobblehead will be standing on a piece of the championship court supplied by Cincinnati based Artsman, a company that creates handcrafted artifacts from game-used elements of sports history including the Men’s and Women’s College Basketball National Championship games.

The officially licensed bobbleheads, which are expected to ship in October, will be available at this link.
