National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum

This isn’t your everyday, “dust it once a year” kind of bobblehead. Raider Red stands proudly on two different bases, a football field and a basketball court, and each features a slidable numbered block so fans can update Texas Tech’s ranking week to week.

Only 2,025 of each bobblehead are being made, and every one is individually numbered. You can pick up one of these bad boys exclusively through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s online store. They’re expected to ship in May, which means you’ve got something to look forward to once spring hits West Texas.

The Wild Origin Story of Raider Red

Before Raider Red was blasting powder-filled shotgun shells after touchdowns, he started as a drawing. In 1971, when the Southwest Conference banned live animals at away games, Saddle Tramp Jim Gaspard teamed up with Lubbock cartoonist Dirk West, who sketched the mascot that eventually became Tech’s rowdy, mustached icon.

Today, Raider Red is one of the most recognizable mascots in college sports, and now he’s immortalized as a ranking-tracking bobblehead that’ll live on your desk long after game day.

Maybe one of these new bobbleheads will rock the “number 1” ranking? Wreck ’em Tech.
