MILWAUKEE — The Hershey Bears have another championship under their belt, which means another bobblehead.
The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum revealed the latest designs Wednesday morning, after the Bears clinched their 13th Calder Cup on Monday with an overtime Game 6 win over the Coachella Valley Firebirds.
The bobbleheads feature the Hershey Bears’ mascot, Coco the Bear, holding a replica Calder Cup trophy. The first two bobbleheads feature Coco the Bear wearing Hershey’s brown and white jerseys standing on the official 2024 Hershey Bears AHL Calder Cup Champions logo. The third bobblehead has a built-in championship counter to mark future wins by the most storied franchise in AHL history.
"Hershey captured another Calder Cup in dramatic fashion with their overtime Game 6 victory on home ice,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said in a press release. “These bobbleheads will be a must-have for fans to commemorate a memorable season and the franchise’s 13th title.”
There will only be 2,024 bobbleheads available for purchase, and each will be individually numbered. The bobbleheads are only available for purchase through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. The 2024 AHL Champions Bobbleheads are $35 each and the Championship Counter Bobblehead is $40 plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order. The bobbleheads are all expected to ship in November.
If you can't get your hands on a 2024 championship bobblehead, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame previously released bobbleheads celebrating Hershey’s 2023 Calder Cup Championship, Hershey’s 12 titles and Hershey’s Teddy Bear Toss. A limited number of each of those bobbleheads is available, with the first two in stock now and the Teddy Bear Toss Bobblehead expected to ship in August.
