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 Marquette Golden Eagles Top 25 Ranking Tracker Bobblehead. Marquette is currently ranked #15 in the AP Top 25 and #15 in the Coaches Poll. Marquette has gotten off to a 5-0 start and is headed to the Bahamas to take on Georgia on Saturday, November 23rd.
The unique bobblehead will let fans change the team’s ranking each week for many years to come. The officially licensed bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of Marquette University.
- Released in conjunction with the 2024-25 college basketball season, 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 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 Iggy the Golden Eagle bobblehead is positioned on a numbered block that can be adjusted when Marquette’s ranking changes. Iggy is also holding a basketball with the Marquette Golden Eagles’ logo.
- Formerly known as the Warriors, Marquette’s nickname change to Golden Eagles came in May 1994 to address the school’s Native American name controversy. Iggy was introduced as the name of Marquette’s golden eagle mascot in August 2020. He is named after St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus. “The name Iggy had come up multiple times over the last few years and the department’s leadership felt like it was a great fit, tying in St. Ignatius and the university’s Jesuit tradition,” Senior Associate Athletic Director for Communications Scott Kuykendall said at the time.
- Marquette is currently ranked #15 in the AP Top 25 and #15 in the Coaches Poll. Marquette has gotten off to a 5-0 start and is headed to the Bahamas to take on Georgia on Saturday, November 23rd.
- “We’re excited to unveil the College Basketball Top 25 Ranking Bobblehead Series in conjunction with the 2024-25 season,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “This bobblehead will be the perfect way for Marquette fans to track the team’s 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!”
