The first Florida A&M University Rattlers Bobblehead has been unveiled. It’s part of a series of bobbleheads created for 13 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). The release coincides with Black History Month.
The officially licensed bobbleheads are produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.
"We hope the alumni, students, faculty, staff, and entire Florida A&M community will enjoy this new Bobblehead,” says National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar. “Bobbleheads are often passed down from generation to generation, and we think the bobbleheads in this new HBCU Series will certainly become cherished keepsakes.”
Each mascot bobblehead stands on a base wearing school colors in front of the school logo. Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 2,023.
Each bobblehead is $35 plus $8 shipping per order. They are scheduled to ship in June. FAMU will receive a percentage of the sales.
The other schools in the first series are: Alabama A&M University Bulldogs, Alabama State University Hornets, Delaware State University Hornets, Fayetteville State University Broncos, Grambling State University Tigers, Howard University Bison, Jackson State University Tigers, Morgan State University Bears, North Carolina A&T State University Aggies, North Carolina Central University Eagles, Norfolk State University Spartans, and Tuskegee University Golden Tigers.
"We’re excited to release this long-overdue collection of HBCU bobbleheads,” Sklar says.
