The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum celebrated the start of the 2024-25 school year and football season by unveiling the first-ever Juice Kiffin bobbleheads Friday morning.
Juice Kiffin, the beloved Yellow Labrador retriever of Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin, has become a fan favorite among Rebels fans. Known for retrieving the kickoff tee during gamedays at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and even playing a role in recruiting events like “Juice Fest,” Juice’s popularity has soared.
This canine celebrity, who has more than 56,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter), also participated in the Walk of Champions tradition at just six and a half months old and recently received an honorary degree from the University of Mississippi School of Law.
The officially licensed bobbleheads, produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum in partnership with the University of Mississippi, are now available for pre-order exclusively in the museum’s online store.
Two versions of the Juice Kiffin bobblehead are offered: the first features Juice sitting on a red and blue base shaped like the Ole Miss logo, wearing a blue scarf with his mouth open and tongue out in a playful pose. The second bobblehead depicts Juice running off the field with a football tee in his mouth, positioned on a spring on a grass-like base, also bearing the Ole Miss logo. Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 2,024, adding to their collectible appeal.
“We’re excited to unveil the first bobbleheads featuring Juice Kiffin in conjunction with the start of the new school year and the 2024 football season,” said Phil Sklar, co-founder and CEO of the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. “These bobbleheads will be the perfect way for Ole Miss fans, alumni, students, faculty, and staff to show off their love for Juice Kiffin and their school pride!”
The bobbleheads are priced at $30 for the sitting version and $35 for the running version, with a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order. They are expected to ship in December, making them a perfect holiday gift for Ole Miss fans and bobblehead collectors.
The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
