2021 Sister Jean bobblehead unveiled

National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum

CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled Wednesday an officially licensed, limited-edition bobblehead featuring Loyola University Chicago's Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, BVM.

The bobbleheads, which are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, are officially licensed by Loyola University Chicago and are being produced in conjunction with the Loyola University Chicago's Athletic Department.


According to the National Bobblehead Hall of Game and Museum, this marks the third bobblehead of Sister Jean, the 101-year-old chaplain for Loyola's Men's Basketball team. In 2018, Sister Jean was thrust into the national spotlight when the Ramblers advanced to the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament. The 2018 bobblehead, which sold out this week, was the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum's best seller of all time until it was surpassed in April 2020 by a bobblehead of Dr. Anthony Fauci.

The bobblehead features Sister Jean in her wheelchair wearing a maroon and gold Loyola letter jacket. Each bobblehead will be individually numbered and they are only available through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum's online store.
