This morning, in conjunction with the 2024-25 college basketball season, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled a first-of-its-kind Gonzaga Bulldog Top 25 Ranking Tracker Bobblehead. The unique bobblehead will let fans change the teamโs ranking each week for many years to come. Gonzaga is currently ranked #3 in the AP Top 25 and #4 in the Coaches Poll. Gonzaga has gotten off to a 5-0 start and heads to the Bahamas next week to take part in the Battle 4 Atlantis. The officially licensed bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of the Gonzaga University.
- Released in conjunction with the 2024-25 college basketball season, the bobbleheads are now available in the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museumโs Online Store at this link.
- The bobbleheads, which are expected to ship in April, are $40 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.
- Each will be individually numbered to 2,024.
- Standing on a basketball court base, the Spike the Bulldog bobblehead is positioned on a numbered block that can be adjusted when Gonzagaโs ranking changes. Spike is also holding a basketball with Gonzagaโs logo.
- Founded in 1887, Gonzaga went by the nickname of โFighting Irishโ in the 1910s to early-1920s. The name was dropped in 1921 in favor of the current โBulldogsโ mascot. Although the schoolโs official mascot is a bulldog, fans and media have long used โZagsโ and โGonzosโ as alternate nicknames. Gonzaga employed live mascots until costumed Spike arrived on campus in 1985. Q was Gonzagaโs last live bulldog mascot, who was gifted to the school in 1999 after the Zagsโ first NCAA Tournament run. He was named after former player Quentin Hall.
- Gonzaga is currently ranked #3 in the AP Top 25 and #4 in the Coaches Poll. Gonzaga has gotten off to a 5-0 start and heads to the Bahamas next week to take part in the Battle 4 Atlantis.
- “Weโre excited to unveil the College Basketball Top 25 Ranking Bobblehead Series in conjunction with the 2024-25 season,โ National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. โThis bobblehead will be the perfect way for Gonzaga fans to track the teamโs ranking each week for many seasons to come and a great way for fans, alumni, students, faculty, and staff to show off their school pride all year long!โ
