This morning, to celebrate the start of the 2024-25 school year and football season, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled the first Juice Kiffin Bobbleheads. Over the next two weeks, we are unveiling our back-to-school bobblehead collection, and we’re excited to have one of the most popular dogs in all of sports included.
Ole Miss is ranked #6 in both Preseason Top 25 Rankings and Juice Kiffin and Ole Miss fans everywhere are eager for the season to kick off. The officially licensed bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of the University of Mississippi.
- 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 $30 for the sitting bobblehead and $35 for the running bobblehead plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.
- Two Juice Kiffin bobbleheads are available. Sitting on a red and blue base shaped like the Ole Miss logo and bearing his name, the first Juice bobblehead is wearing a blue scarf and has his mouth open and tongue out in a playful pose. The second Juice bobblehead, positioned on a spring on a grass-like base bearing his name and the Ole Miss logo, has a football tee in his mouth while running off the field.
- Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 2,024.
- Juice, the family pet of Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin, has become a fan favorite for Rebels fans at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Born and trained at Wildrose Kennels in Oxford, Mississippi, the Yellow Labrador retriever started retrieving the kickoff tee on gamedays during the 2023 season. He has also been used as a recruiting tool. One of Ole Miss’ key recruiting events of the year is known as “Juice Fest.”
- Juice was only six and a half months old when he started participating in the popular Walk of Champions tradition where fans line the path that the football team walks to the stadium. In April, Juice received an honorary degree from the University of Mississippi School of Law. The accomplishment was proudly announced to his more than 56,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter).
- Classes began for the 2024 fall semester at Ole Miss on Monday, August 26th. There is a lot of excitement surrounding the Ole Miss football team, which is ranked #6 in the nation in both preseason Top 25 polls ahead of the first game of the season against Furman on Saturday night
- “We’re excited to unveil the first bobbleheads featuring Juice Kiffin in conjunction with the start of the new school year and the 2024 football season,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “These bobbleheads will be the perfect way for Ole Miss fans, alumni, students, faculty, and staff to show off their love for Juice Kiffin and 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.
