College Basketball Game Used Championship Court Bobblehead Series Unveiled

This morning, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled a very special, officially licensed College Basketball Game Used Championship Court Bobblehead Series. This first-of-its-kind bobblehead series features each school’s mascot standing on a piece of the game used court that each team played on when they won the National Championship with the National Championship logo and historic details on the top of the base.

The first series features the Baylor Bears who won the 2021 Men’s Basketball National Championship, the Kansas Jayhawks who won the 2022 Men’s Basketball National Championship, and the LSU Tigers who won the 2023 Women’s Basketball National Championship. The individually numbered bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of each school. The court pieces are being supplied by Cincinnati based Artsman, a company that creates handcrafted artifacts from game-used elements of sports history including the Men’s and Women’s College Basketball National Championship games.
