National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum releases limited-edition FDU hoops bobblehead
Fairleigh Dickinson University's surprising run in the NCAA Tournament is over, but the fallout is continuing.
On Tuesday, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled an officially licensed, limited-edition bobblehead to celebrate the Knights' Friday night upset of top-seeded Purdue, according to a press release.
The museum previously produced bobbleheads to commemorate Saint Peter's University's run in 2022, and University of Maryland, Baltimore County becoming the first men's No. 16 seed to beat a No. 1 seed in 2018.
The bobblehead features a "generic vintage design," according to the release. The player in the image is holding a basketball in one hand and a newspaper in the other hand. The newspaper has the headline “FDUnbelievable!” with the text, “#16 seed Fairleigh Dickinson Knights knock off #1 seed for biggest upset in tournament history!”
Each bobblehead will be individually numbered to 2,023, are they are now available for pre-order through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s online store, according to the release. The bobbleheads cost $30 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order. They are expected in ship in July.
“We are excited to unveil the first Fairleigh Dickinson bobblehead following FDU’s incredible upset victory that captivated fans everywhere,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said in the release. “This victory will be talked about for a long time, and now fans, students, alumni, faculty, and staff will have a bobblehead to commemorate the historic accomplishment.”
