The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum on Friday unveiled a limited-edition Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Iowa State Cyclones Rivalry Bobblehead ahead of Saturday’s Cy-Hawk matchup.
The bobblehead features Iowa’s mascot Herky the Hawk and Iowa State’s mascot Cy the Cardinal with a replica Cy-Hawk Trophy. The bobblehead commemorates the longtime football rivalry, which has awarded a Cy-Hawk Trophy to the winning team since 1977, according to a press release.
The special edition bobblehead, which is being released in conjunction with the 71st meeting between the Hawkeyes and Cyclones on Saturday at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, is available exclusively from the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of the University of Iowa and Iowa Strate University.
The bobbleheads will be available in our online store at the following link.

The bobbleheads, which are expected to ship in January, are $50 each plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order, according to the release.
Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 2,024.
Standing side-by-side on a football field base that reads “HAWKEYES” in one end zone and “CYCLONES” in the other end zone, Iowa mascot Herky the Hawk and Iowa State mascot Cy the Cardinal are wearing their respective uniforms. Positioned in between Herky and Cy is a replica of the Cy-Hawk Trophy. The front of the base features the logos for each team.
Iowa won last year’s matchup, 20-13, in Ames and has won seven of the team’s last eight matchups. Iowa State downed Iowa the last time the two teams matched up at Kinnick Stadium in 2022.
A group of friends created the original Cy-Hawk Trophy awarded annually to the winner when Iowa and Iowa State renewed their football rivalry in 1977. A new trophy was introduced in 2012 and has been used every year since.
The bobblehead is the hall’s latest Iowa-themed release. The Milwaukee-based Hall of Fame has also produced miniature bobblehead versions of Herky on Parade 3 and for the “Crossover at Kinnick,” the record-breaking Iowa women’s basketball event at Duke Slater Field last October.
