BLOOMINGTON — The Indiana Hoosiers have reached the pinnacle of college football, and fans now have a permanent way to commemorate the “perfect season.” Following IU’s thrilling 27-21 victory over the Miami Hurricanes on Monday night, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum has officially unveiled a limited-edition collection of championship memorabilia.
The Hoosiers’ road to the title was nothing short of dominant. Finishing the season with an unblemished 16-0 record, No. 1 Indiana silenced critics by taking down traditional powerhouses, including a convincing win over No. 9 Alabama and a strategic victory against No. 5 Oregon, before sealing the championship in Atlanta.
The new collection features the faces behind the most successful season in program history. Headlining the release is head coach Curt Cignetti, whose “win now” philosophy transformed the program in record time.
Star quarterback Fernando Mendoza, whose leadership was instrumental in the undefeated run, is featured in four distinct variations:
- Home Jersey: The classic cream and crimson.
- Scoreboard Edition: Mendoza, in his home jersey, positioned in front of a stadium scoreboard.
- Away Jersey: The “road warrior” look used in the wins against Alabama and Oregon.
- The Suit: A sharp, off-field look celebrating his status as a campus icon.
Not to be outdone, the university’s beloved mascot is receiving a massive six-variation rollout. Fans can choose from a range of sizes and styles to fit any shelf or budget:
- Standard & Mini Bobbleheads: Perfect for office desks.
- The Scoreboard & Logo Versions: Emphasizing the historic 16-0 stats.
- The Ornament: A holiday keepsake for the 2026 season.
- The Jumbo Bobblehead: A massive tribute for the ultimate collector.
The collection is currently available for pre-order through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s online store. Production is expected to wrap up mid-summer, with items shipping to fans in July and August 2026.
