Rutgers Scarlet Knights Bobblehead Unveiled for Back-to-School

This morning, to celebrate the start of the 2024-25 school year, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled an officially licensed Rutgers Scarlet Knights Bobblehead featuring Rutgers’ mascot, Sir Henry. Over the next two weeks, we are unveiling our back-to-school bobblehead collection, and we’re excited to have Rutgers included. The officially licensed bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of Rutgers University.

• The bobbleheads are now available in the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store at this link.
• The bobbleheads, which are expected to ship in December, are $35 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.
• Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 2,024.
• Standing on a base that reads “Scarlet Knights” across the front with a backing featuring Rutgers’ logo, the Sir Henry bobblehead features him doing a #1 sign with his right arm while holding a sword in his other hand.
• Sir Henry can be seen at all football games, home men’s and women’s basketball games, tournaments, bowl games, numerous sporting events, on-campus events, ESPN commercials, and various private functions. He’s very well known around the state and the country and makes hundreds of appearances a year. Sir Henry wasn’t always the face of Rutgers University, though. When the University was known as Queen’s College, teams were referred to as “Queensmen.” Starting in 1925, you could find a chanticleer (otherwise known as a rooster) on the sidelines of football games officially serving as the school mascot. Eventually, the chanticleer fell out of favor due to its similarities to a chicken, and in 1955, a campus-wide selection process picked a Knight to be the new mascot of Rutgers University.
• “We’re excited to unveil this new Rutgers Scarlet Knights Bobblehead featuring Sir Henry in conjunction with the start of the new school year,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “This bobblehead will be the perfect way for Rutgers fans, alumni, students, faculty, and staff to show off their school pride!”
• The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, which is located at 170 S. 1st. St. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, opened to the public on February 1st, 2019. The HOF and Museum also produces high quality, customized bobbleheads for retail sale as well as organizations, individuals, and teams across the country.
