As St. John's begin what they hope to be a long NCAA Tournament run, fans can now preorder a special collectible courtesy of the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.
A limited edition Rick Pitino bobblehead is now for sale here (expected to ship in September), with each one being numbered through 2,025. The Red Storm head coach is seen in his all-white suit with white shoes and a St. John’s colored tie, while standing on a court-textured base with his name on the front and St. John’s logo on the top.
"We are excited to unveil this bobblehead featuring coach Rick Pitino’s signature all-white suit,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “With Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino leading the way, the Johnnies are back among the top teams in the nation and are poised to make a deep March Madness run. This bobblehead will be a must-have for alumni, fans, students, faculty, and staff of St. John’s!”
The Red Storm have taken back the adoration of the city with their incredible run in just Pitino's second season, as the Johnnies captured the Big East regular season title before winning the program's first Big East Tournament championship in 25 years after knocking off Creighton in the title game on Saturday.
Now, Pitino and his group will look to make a deep tournament run starting with Omaha in the first round on Thursday night. Thanks to the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame, fans can secure a special keepsake of one of the Johnnies' most memorable seasons in recent memory.
