The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum has unveiled a pair of officially licensed, limited-edition Army vs. Navy Rivalry Bobbleheads to celebrate the 125th meeting in the storied football rivalry.

The Win Tracker Bobblehead lets fans change after each rivalry game and the 125th Meeting Bobblehead includes a special logo commemorating the milestone matchup.

Both bobbleheads feature Army’s mascot, Army Mule, and Navy’s Mascot, Bill the Goat, in flexing poses. The Win Counter Bobblehead features the mascots standing on the rivalry logo base, including a built-in counter that fans can change after each rivalry game. The 125th Meeting Bobblehead features the mascots on a football field base with the 125th Meeting logo at midfield, “BLACK KNIGHTS” in one end zone, and “MIDSHIPMEN” in the other end zone.

"We’re excited to unveil these very special Army vs. Navy Rivalry Bobbleheads ahead of tomorrow’s 125th meeting in Landover,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said in a statement. “No matter the records, the Army-Navy game is always one to watch during the college football season. Fans of America’s Game will love this bobblehead.”

Each bobblehead will be individually numbered to 2,024 to commemorate the year of the 125th meeting. The bobbleheads are currently available exclusively through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s online store.

The bobbleheads, expected to ship in May, are $50 each for the 125th Meeting Bobblehead and $60 for the Win Counter Bobblehead, plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.

Army and Navy face off on the gridiron on Saturday at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland.
