UConn honored with its own set of bobbleheads

Figured I would pass on an email I received about the UConn women's basketball program being honored with its own bobblehead at the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.

Here is the release

MILWAUKEE, Wi., November 14, 2017 – – This morning, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled a limited edition bobblehead commemorating the University of Connecticut’s 11 Women’s Basketball NCAA Division 1 National Championships. The bobbleheads, which are individually numbered to just 216, are only available in the National Bobblehead HOF and Museum’s Online Store. This is the first bobblehead commemorating UConn’s record-breaking 11 National Championships.

The bobblehead features UConn’s mascot, Jonathan the Husky, on a University of Connecticut logo base. Jonathan is holding two replica National Championship trophies with nine additional replica trophies on the base. A commemorative backing lists the years of Connecticut’s National Championships. The officially licensed bobbleheads, which just arrived, cost $40 each plus flat rate shipping of $8.

UConn is one of the most storied program in all of college sports, with the Huskies winning 11 National Championships since 1995. Connecticut, which has been led by head coach Geno Auriemma in each of the championship seasons, captured the Women’s Division 1 title in 1995, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. The team has finished the season undefeated in six of the eleven championship seasons.

"This bobblehead is the perfect way for UConn fans to commemorate the school’s 11 historic championships,” said Phil Sklar, Co-Founder and CEO of the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. “These will be cherished collectibles that celebrate the tremendous success of the Huskies’ program.”

Last year, the National Bobblehead HOF and Museum started a series of bobbleheads commemorating college basketball teams that have won National Championships. The Connecticut Huskies Men’s Basketball program, which has won five National Championships, was included in the series, and a limited number of those bobbleheads are available for sale.

The bobbleheads were produced exclusively for the National Bobblehead HOF by Forever Collectibles and are officially licensed.
