DALLAS — Calling all SMU Mustangs fans!
In celebration of the football team's historic 2024 ACC season, the SMU Mustangs are getting their own limited-edition bobbleheads.
SMU went 8-0 in ACC play and became the first team transitioning to a power conference to reach a conference championship game. Despite losing to Clemson, 34-31, the Mustangs were selected as the 11 seed in the College Football Playoffs.
Only 2,024 of the special edition bobbleheads have been produced and each one is individually numbered.
"These bobbleheads are the perfect way for SMU fans, alumni, students, faculty, and staff to show off their school pride year-round,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said.
The standard Peruna bobbleheads are $35 each and $40 each for the Top 25 Ranking Tracker bobblehead and Peruna IX bobblehead, plus a flat-rate shipping charge of $8 per order.
You can order them online but unfortunately, you won't get them in time for the team's playoff game against Penn State next weekend.
The university says the bobbleheads will be shipped in May. To pre-order your limited-edition bobblehead, click on this link.
Standing on a base that reads “SMU Mustangs” across the front with a backing featuring the SMU logo, the first Peruna bobblehead gives the No. 1 signal while wearing a red shirt adorned with the SMU logo in blue.
Running on a grass-like texture on a base bearing his name, the Peruna IX bobblehead is a replica of SMU’s miniature black Shetland pony.
Standing on a football field-like texture, the second Peruna bobblehead is positioned on a numbered block that can be adjusted when SMU’s ranking changes. Peruna is also holding a football adorned with the SMU logo.
SMU (11-2) will face sixth-seeded Penn State (11-2) in a first-round matchup on Saturday, Dec. 21 at Beaver Stadium in State College, Pennsylvania. This marks the first time the Mustangs have been chosen for the College Football Playoff, which debuted in 2014.
