The original mascot for the Kansas Jayhawks was a bulldog. In 1912, the Jayhawk was first seen in a cartoon by Henry Maloy in The University Daily Kansan. In November 1958, the Jayhawk became the official mascot of Kansas University. Big Jay arrived on the scene in the 1960s, while Baby Jay was created by student Amy Sue Hurst and hatched at halftime of KU’s Homecoming victory over Kansas State on October 9th, 1971. Both mascots are instrumental in “Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk” (aka the “Rock Chalk” chant) that is used at Kansas sporting events. Among the most famous of college cheers, it has been the battle cry for KU fans for more than 100 years.
“We’re excited to unveil this first-of-its-kind Top 25 Ranking Bobblehead Series in conjunction with the start of the 2024 college football season,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “These bobbleheads will be the perfect way for Kansas fans to track the team’s ranking each week for many seasons to come and a great way for fans, alumni, students, faculty, and staff to show off their school pride all year long!”
