To celebrate the Iowa Hawkeyes and Iowa State Cyclones runs to the Sweet 16, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled officially licensed Iowa Hawkeyes and Iowa State Cyclones Basketball Dancing in March Bobbleheads. On Saturday, Iowa’s Women’s team will face Colorado in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. The officially licensed bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of Iowa and Iowa State.
The bobbleheads are now available in the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store at this link for Iowa and this link for Iowa State. The bobbleheads, which are expected to ship in September, are $40 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order. Each bobblehead will be individually numbered to 2,024.
Standing on a basketball court base with each school’s colors, the bobbleheads feature Iowa State’s mascot, Cy the Cardinal, and Iowa’s mascot, Herky the Hawk, dancing and wearing a basketball jersey. The backing behind the bobblehead features a basketball texture with “MARCH” across the top, a bracket, and each school’s logo.
Iowa will take on the 5th-seeded Colorado Buffaloes in the Sweet 16 on Saturday in Albany, New York. The 1st-seeded Hawkeyes knocked off 16th-seeded Holy Cross in the First Round and the 8th-seeded West Virginia Mountaineers in the Second Round to keep dancing and advance to the Sweet 16.
Iowa State will take on the 3rd-seeded Illinois Fighting Illini in the Sweet 16 on Thursday in Boston, Massachusetts. The 2nd-seeded Cyclones knocked off the 15th-seeded South Dakota State Jackrabbits in the First Round and the 7th-seeded Washington State Cougars in the Second Round to keep dancing and advance to the Sweet 16.
The Iowa and Iowa State Bobbleheads join over a dozen other schools in the Dancing in March Bobblehead series includes schools that reached the Sweet 16 in the Men’s and Women’s NCAA Tournaments.
“We’re excited to unveil these Iowa Hawkeyes and Iowa State Cyclones Bobbleheads celebrating both teams run to the Sweet 16 this March as both schools are dancing again,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “These bobbleheads are the perfect way for Iowa and Iowa State fans, alumni, students, faculty, and staff to celebrate March Madness each year and show off their school pride year-round!”
