Bobbleheads Unveiled For UConn's Jonathan — Both Of Them

STORRS, CT — The University of Connecticut's Jonathan — both Jonathan's to be exact — have been immortalized with bobbleheads.

On Friday, to celebrate National Bobblehead Day, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled the first bobbleheads of UConn's Husky mascots Jonathan XV and Jonathan XIV.

The officially licensed bobbleheads are being released in conjunction with National Bobblehead Day, which is celebrated annually on Jan. 7.

The Museum is celebrating started Friday and plans to go until Monday with dozens of new bobblehead releases, including the new limited-edition Jonathan bobbleheads. The special edition bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.

The bobbleheads, which are expected to ship in April, are now available here.

Each bobblehead is individually numbered to only 2,024. The bobbleheads are $30 each plus an $8 flat-rate shipping charge per order.

Standing on a UConn Huskies logo-shaped base bearing their names, the Jonathan XIV and Jonathan XV bobbleheads both feature their ocean-blue eyes and facial markings that mirror the Husky logo.

UConn's 15th canine mascot — Jonathan XV — arrived on campus in June 2023 and began learning the ropes from his de facto big brother, Jonathan XIV. He was picked up by handlers on National Mascot Day (June 17) and brought back to Connecticut.

Jonathan XV arrived on campus weighing 10 pounds, but is expected to grow to about 55 to 60 pounds.

He was part of a six-puppy litter born in Atwood, Ontario, las April 19. His handlers are from the co-ed service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega.

Jonathan XIV, who debuted in early-2014, celebrated his 10th birthday in October.

"We’re excited to be releasing the first bobbleheads of Jonathan XIV and XV in conjunction with National Bobblehead Day," National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. "We know how passionate UConn fans are about their school and bobbleheads, so we expect these bobbleheads to be extremely popular."

The officially licensed bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.
