The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced a special tribute to Kobe Bryant, unveiling a unique bobblehead design that will be given to the first 40,000 ticketed fans at their home game against the Toronto Blue Jays on August 8, 2025. The bobblehead features Bryant in a batting stance, wearing a gold No. 24 Lakers jersey and the Zoom Kobe 6 Protro "Dodgers" sneaker, inspired by a 2009 Lakers media day photo.

A Legacy Remembered

This bobblehead is part of the Dodgers' ongoing efforts to honor Bryant, who had a deep connection with the team. Bryant, a five-time NBA champion, was a frequent supporter of the Dodgers, including throwing out the first pitch in 2000 and attending Game 4 of the 2018 World Series at Dodger Stadium.

Design Details

The design pays homage to Bryant's iconic Lakers career, with the gold jersey and sneakers symbolizing his impact both on and off the court. The number 8/8 holds special significance, as it reflects the jersey numbers Bryant wore during his NBA career.

Previous Tributes

The Dodgers have a history of honoring Bryant, including a snakeskin Dodgers uniform giveaway in 2023, referencing his "Black Mamba" nickname, and special jerseys last season. These tributes continue to celebrate Bryant's enduring legacy in Los Angeles.

A Community United

Bryant's tragic passing in January 2020, along with his daughter Gianna and seven others, left a void in the sports world. The Dodgers' tribute serves as a reminder of his lasting influence and the community's shared grief and admiration.
