To celebrate Alabama and Auburn’s upcoming Sweet 16 appearances this week, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled Alabama Crimson Tide and Auburn Tigers Dancing in March Bobbleheads.
The No. 1 seed Auburn faces Michigan on Friday in the Sweet 16, and Alabama will take on BYU on Thursday.
The limited edition bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of the University of Alabama and Auburn University.
“We’re excited to add Alabama and Auburn Bobbleheads to our Dancing in March bobblehead series as both teams look to get back to the Final Four and capture each school’s first Men’s Basketball National Championship,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “March Madness is one of the best times of the year, and we know that Alabama and Auburn fans, alumni, students, faculty, and staff will enjoy these new bobbleheads.”
Standing on court-textured bases, the bobbleheads feature Alabama’s mascot, Big Al, and Auburn’s mascot, Aubie, in a dancing pose with a bracket and team logo behind them.
The bobbleheads are the newest in the “Dancing in March” series, which started with 10 teams during last year’s NCAA Tournament. Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 2,025.
The No. 2 seeded Crimson Tide faces sixth-seed Brigham Young at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Tipoff is 6:09 p.m.; the winner will face Duke or Arizona on Saturday.
Top-seeded Auburn will take on No. 5 seed Michigan in the Sweet 16 at 8:39 p.m. at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, and the winner will face Michigan State or Ole Miss on Sunday.
The bobbleheads are available for order in the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store at this link. They are expected to ship in September and cost $40 each, plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.
The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum in Milwaukee opened to the public on February 1, 2019. The HOF and Museum also produce high-quality, customized bobbleheads for retail sale and for organizations, individuals, and teams across the country.
