STATE COLLEGE — The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame unveiled a new Penn State Nittany Lions Football Bobblehead today, coinciding with the release of this week’s Preseason AP Top 25 Football Poll, where Penn State is ranked number 8.
The bobblehead features the Nittany Lion holding a football on a football field base, with numbered blocks that can be adjusted when Penn State’s ranking changes.
“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. “This bobblehead will be the perfect way for Penn State 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!”
Penn State finished the 2023 season 10-3, ranked number 13 in the final AP Top 25 Poll of the season.
The Nittany Lions are currently ranked number 8 in the Preseason AP Top 25 Rankings and number 9 in the AFCA Coaches Poll.
The team will open the 2024 season playing against West Virginia University on Saturday, Aug. 31, in Morgantown, W.Va.
On Sept. 7, Penn State will host Bowling Green in Beaver Stadium.
Individually numbered to 2,024, the bobbleheads, which cost $40 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order, are expected to ship in December.
The bobbleheads will be available in the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s online store at store.bobbleheadhall.com/products/pennstatetop25.
The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, located at 170 S. 1st St. in Milwaukee, Wis., opened to the public on Feb. 1, 2019.
The HOF and Museum also produces customized bobbleheads for retail sale as well as for organizations, individuals and teams across the country.
