The Bobblehead Hall of Fame Makes a Roar with an Auburn Tigers National Championship Bobblehead

by | Dec 16, 2020 | Sniper Rants

This morning, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled an officially licensed, limited edition bobblehead commemorating the Auburn Tigers’ two College Football National Championships. This is the first bobblehead to celebrate Auburn’s football national championships and it joins over a dozen bobbleheads in the series of NCAA College Football National Champions Bobbleheads. The bobbleheads were produced exclusively for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum by FOCO, an official licensee and manufacturer of Auburn Tigers and NCAA merchandise.

The bobblehead features Auburn’s mascot, Aubie the Tiger, standing behind two championship rings on the base of the bobblehead, which has Auburn’s. The backing lists the years of Auburn’s titles, which were in 1957 and 2010. The limited-edition bobbleheads are individually numbered to only 2,010 to coincide with the school’s last title year. The bobbleheads, which just arrived and ship now, are $45 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order. They are only available through the Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store.

Since its first season in 1892, Auburn is recognized by the university and NCAA for winning two national championships, 16 conference titles and 10 division crowns. One of the inaugural members of the powerhouse Southeastern Conference, the Tigers have achieved 12 undefeated seasons and 44 bowl appearances in their history. One of the most successful college programs in the last 25 years, Auburn has won over 70 percent of its games during that span.

Auburn’s bobblehead joins Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, Penn State, Florida, LSU, Miami, Nebraska, Ohio State, Texas, Tennessee, and USC in the series celebrating teams that have won multiple college football National Championships. The NCAA recognizes College Football National Champions dating back to 1869 when Princeton and Rutgers were both crowned National Champions.

“The championship bobbleheads are the ultimate way for fans to show off their school pride,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “We know how passionate Auburn fans are about their team and bobbleheads, so we expect these to be extremely popular especially since bobbleheads make sure a great holiday gift.”

The Bobblehead Hall Goes Rival Again with the Gamecocks and Tigers

by | Dec 15, 2020 | Sniper Rants

This morning, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled an officially licensed, limited edition bobblehead celebrating the Clemson vs. South Carolina rivalry. This is the first bobblehead to commemorate the in-state rivalry and features Clemson University mascot, The Tiger, and University of South Carolina mascot, Cocky, standing back-to-back as rivals with their arms crossed. The bobbleheads were produced exclusively for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum by FOCO, an official licensee and manufacturer of Clemson University, University of South Carolina, and NCAA merchandise.

Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 1,000 and they are only available through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store. The bobbleheads, which just arrived and ship now, are $60 plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.

The Clemson-South Carolina rivalry, also called the Carolina-Clemson rivalry, is one of only a handful of in-state rivalries where the teams are in different premier conferences with South Carolina in the SEC and Clemson in the ACC. Separated by only 132 miles, the schools compete in the Palmetto Series, which is an athletic, head-to-head competition in more than a dozen sports throughout the school year.

Since 1960, the football matchup has been held in late November, usually on Thanksgiving weekend, however, the game that was originally scheduled for November 28, 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ending an unbroken streak of 111 years of games between the two schools. The football rivalry game was dubbed the Palmetto Bowl in 2014, and Clemson has won the last six meetings. The Tigers hold a 71-42-4 advantage in the all-time series, which started in 1896. In baseball, the teams have played 321 times in what has been called “college baseball’s most heated rivalry” with Clemson holding a 179-140-2 advantage. The rivalry is also heated on the basketball court, with the South Carolina men leading the all-time series, 91-79, while the Clemson women hold a slim 33-32 edge.

“We’re excited to release this bobblehead commemorating the fierce rivalry between Clemson and South Carolina,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “The Palmetto Series is unique in college sports and what makes this rivalry so special.”

No Love Lost between the Wildcats and Sun Devils As The Bobble Hall Drops a New Exclusive Bobblehead

by | Dec 11, 2020 | Sniper Rants

This morning, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled an officially licensed, limited edition bobblehead commemorating the Arizona vs. Arizona State rivalry. The bobblehead is the first to celebrate the rivalry and features University of Arizona mascot “Wilbur the Wildcat” and Arizona State University mascot “Sparky the Sun Devil” squaring off as rivals ready for battle. The bobbleheads were produced exclusively for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum by FOCO, an official licensee and manufacturer of University of Arizona, Arizona State University and NCAA merchandise.

Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 1,000 and they are only available through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Store. The bobbleheads, which just arrived and ship now, are $60 plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.

Separated by only 100 miles and members of the Pac-12 Conference, the interstate rivalry between the two schools is intense. The football rivalry is one of the longest in the country, with the winner receiving the Territorial Cup, which was created for the 1899 champion between four schools in Arizona. The NCAA has certified the trophy as the oldest rivalry trophy in college football.

The football rivalry has taken place continuously since 2001, with this year’s game scheduled to kick off at 5:00pm today at Arizona Stadium in Tucson. Arizona State has won the last three meetings including last season’s 24-21 win at Sun Devil Stadium. However, Arizona holds the series lead 49-43-1, thanks in part to a 20-2 series start. The rivalry isn’t just intense in football, as it crosses 20 varsity intercollegiate sports.

“We’re excited to release this bobblehead commemorating Arizona and Arizona State’s rivalry,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “Our rivalry bobblehead series has been very popular, and we know this will become a cherished collectible for many Arizona and Arizona State fans.”

The Rivalry Continues Between Florida and Georgia With A New Dual Bobblehead

by | Nov 6, 2020 | Sniper Rants

This morning, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled an officially licensed, limited edition bobblehead featuring University of Florida mascot “Albert E. Gator” and University of Georgia mascot “Hairy Dawg” squaring off as rivals ready for battle. This is the first bobblehead celebrating the rivalry, and the release comes ahead of the rivalry game this Saturday when the fifth-ranked Bulldogs take on the eight-ranked Gators in Jacksonville, Florida. The bobbleheads were produced exclusively for the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum by FOCO, an official licensee and manufacturer of Florida, Georgia, and NCAA merchandise.

Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 1,000 and they are only available through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store. They are in stock and ready to ship. The dual rivalry bobblehead, which just arrived and ship now, is $60 plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.

One of the most prominent rivalry games in college football, the two universities do not agree on when the rivalry began. Georgia contends the first meeting was in 1904, while Florida said it was 1915, since the team that played in 1904 was from the Florida Agricultural College based in Lake City. The Florida Legislature established the University of Florida the following year and the football team was officially established in 1906.

Nevertheless, the Bulldogs, who have won the last three matchups, lead the tightly contested all-time series, 53-43-2 according to Georgia and 52-43-2 according to Florida. Since 1933, the big game has been held in Jacksonville, Florida with only two exceptions, making it one of the few remaining neutral-site rivalries in college football. The schools are also major rivals in other sports including basketball where the schools have met 217 times. Just like in football, the rivalry is fairly even, with the Gators holding a 116-103 lead in the all-time series.

“We’re excited to release this bobblehead commemorating the rivalry between Florida and Georgia,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “The annual clash in Jacksonville is one of the most anticipated college football games of the season and we think this bobblehead will be a great collectible for fans, students, and alumni of both schools.”

The Phandemic Krew Takes Their Fandom Inside the Ballpark With A Brand New Bobblehead

by | Nov 5, 2020 | Sniper Rants

Brett MacMinn and Oscar Alvarado showed the world how important the Phandemic Krew is to Phillies fans. Back in September with the collaboration of FOCO, MacMinn and Alvarado released their very own Phandemic Krew exclusive bobblehead. It was so popular, it sold out within 5 hours of going live on foco.com. Today, the 2nd version has just been released and it’s just as good, if not better than the first one. 

The overall theme of this new bobblehead features the phrase on the front of the base that reads, “Next year. We’re in”. Both co-founders are taking the Phandemic Krew into Citzens Bank Ballpark for the 2021 season as the Phillies gave the Krew their very own section to cheer on their squad. 

Both Alvarado and MacMinn are standing on a thematic base decked out wearing their Philly gear. What’s really unique is Brett is a huge fan of FOCO and it shows as he’s rocking a floral FOCO shirt to show off his Philly pride. Both founders of the Phandemic know how to keep safe with both of them wearing a FOCO face cover. This exclusive bobblehead wouldn’t be complete without blaring their airhorns to let the Philly fans know who they’re rooting for. Lastly, which is the most important feature on this bobblehead is the stadium gates are finally open!

The bobblehead is currently available on foco.com and for each bobble sold, the Fields family is donating $20.00 to local Philadelphia charities. Click link below as these won’t last long!!!!
