Iowa vs. Iowa State rivalry Bobblehead unveiled to celebrate Saturday’s Game

This morning, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled a limited-edition Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Iowa State Cyclones Rivalry Bobblehead ahead of Saturday’s game between the two rivals in Iowa City. 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 the Cy-Hawk Trophy to the winning team since 1977.

The special edition bobblehead, numbered up to 2,024, will be released in conjunction with the 71st meeting between the Hawkeyes and Cyclones on Saturday, September 7th, at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa. It is available exclusively from the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of the University of Iowa and Iowa State University. 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 while giving the No. 1 signal. 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.

With a combined enrollment of nearly 70,000 students, Iowa and Iowa State compete with each other in the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series, which awards points for athletic victories over the different universities. The schools also compete for the Cy-Hawk Trophy in football. The teams first met on the gridiron in 1894, and Iowa has won seven of the last eight matchups to increase its lead in the all-time series to 47-23. The Hawkeyes won last year’s meeting in Ames, 20-13, giving longtime Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz his 200th career victory.
