CONTRIBUTED BY NATIONAL BOBBLEHEAD HALL OF FAME AND MUSEUM
AUBURN — Last week, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled two officially licensed Auburn Tigers Basketball Bobbleheads. The officially licensed bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of Auburn.
The bobbleheads are now available in the online store at the following link, www.store.bobbleheadhall.com/products/aubiebasketball.
The bobbleheads, which are in stock and ready to ship, are $35 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.
Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 2,024.
Available in blue and white basketball jerseys, the bobblehead features Aubie the Tiger, Auburn’s costumed mascot, wearing his No. 01 Auburn jersey while standing on a base that reads “Tigers” across the front with a backing featuring the Auburn Tigers logo.
Aubie made his debut in 1979 after first appearing as a cartoon character on the cover of a football program 20 years earlier. A spirit leader and goodwill ambassador for Auburn University, Aubie is a popular character among Auburn fans and one of the most animated mascots in the country. Aubie has won a record-setting 10 mascot national championships, he was named the 2014 Capital One Mascot of the Year and was among the first three collegiate mascots inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame on August 15th, 2006.
It is often said: “Women love him, children adore him and men want to be him.”
“We’re excited to unveil these new Auburn Tigers Basketball Bobbleheads in conjunction with March Madness as Auburn is dancing in March again,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “These bobbleheads are the perfect way for Auburn fans, alumni, students, faculty and staff to show off their school pride!”
