Today, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled the first “Gator Boys Stay Hot” Florida Gators Bobblehead commemorating the Florida Gators’ 2025 NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship and the viral “Gator Boys Stay Hot” phrase. The slogan gained prominence with the Florida Gators 2006 National Championship team and has been associated with the team ever since. It’s a way to describe the team’s unstoppable energy, unity and ability to stay on top during games and throughout the long season.

The slogan has been used by the 2025 National Championship team as a reminder of the legacy of the previous teams and the positive energy they brought to the sport. The “Gator Boys Stay Hot” Bobblehead, which joins the previously released Florida Gators 2025 National Champions Bobblehead Collection, is being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of the University of Florida.

  • The bobbleheads, which are expected to ship in October, are now available at this link.
  • Each bobblehead will be individually numbered to only 2,025. They are $45 each plus a flat rate shipping of $8 per order.
  • The bobblehead features Florida’s mascot, Albert, standing on a base with “Gator Boys Stay Hot” and the 2025 Men’s Basketball National Championship logo on the front. Albert is doing The Gator Chomp with arms that also bobble. An oversized version of the National Championship logo is prominently displayed behind Albert.

  • On Monday, April 7th, the Florida Gators capped a sensational season by rallying for a 65-63 victory over the Houston Cougars in the championship game of the 2025 NCAA Tournament at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. The title was the third for the Gators and the first since 2007.
  • Trailing by 12 points in the second half, Florida (36-4) denied Houston its first national championship. Will Richard connected on four 3-pointers in the first half and led Florida with 18 points, while Alex Condon chipped in 12. After being held scoreless in the first half, All-American guard Walter Clayton Jr. scored all 11 of his points in the second half and added seven assists. Clayton was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four.
  • Florida’s 39-year-old third-year coach Todd Golden became the youngest head coach to win the title since NC State’s Jim Valvano in 1983. “We clearly have the best team in America,” Golden said. “And in three short years in Gainesville, we got the basketball program back where it belongs, which is raising trophies, playing in Final Fours, and competing for national championships.”
  • “We heard ‘Gator Boys Stay Hot’ shouted by players and fans while in San Antonio for the Final Four and quickly learned about the slogan and its strong history with the Florida Gators,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “We’re excited to unveil the first ‘Gator Boys Stay Hot’ Bobblehead and add it to our 2025 Florida Gators Men’s Basketball National Champions Bobblehead collection. We’re confident this will become a favorite for Gators fans across the country because…Gator Boys Stay Hot!”
  • The “Gator Boys Stay Hot Bobblehead” joins the Florida Gators 2025 Men’s Basketball National Champions Bobblehead Collection which was unveiled immediately following Florida’s victory in the National Championship Game. The Albert and Alberta bobbleheads feature Florida’s beloved mascots standing on the official 2025 Men’s Basketball National Champions logo and standing on a ladder for the celebratory net-cutting ceremony. The ladder is positioned on the official 2025 Men’s Basketball National Championship logo. The Bobble Logo features the official 2025 Men’s Basketball National Champions logo bobbling over a basketball-shaped base. All the bobbleheads have the Florida Gators’ logo across the front. The Hall of Fame and Museum also unveiled Florida Gators Welcome to San Antonio Bobbleheads commemorating Florida’s trip to San Antonio for the 2025 Final Four.
