Well lately I've been seeing some guys at school, specifically soccer guys, with some new blondish coloring to their hair. I'm not really sure what's up with that but I saw a freshman in college yesterday with that same blonde in his "faux hawk" (also a soccer thing it seems). And yes, he used to be a soccer player at my school.

Hair changes seem to be a sports team trend, not that everybody does it. This summer my brother's soccer team went to Florida for a tournament and a few days beforehand they decided that they wanted their hair to "match." My brother and a few of the other guys shaved their heads, getting their numbers and stars designed in the minimal amount of hair left. That was a BIG deal for my brother because, well, we usually have to bribe him to cut his hair. And it freaked my mom out a little too because I was the one watching the barber do his job. But I'll admit it turned out pretty cool and some high schoolers (and celebrities) even have similar hair. Several of the boys and others sported "faux hawks" as well. Maybe they're supporting David Beckham? I'm glad they decided to do that rather than temporarily dye their hair green, especially since their team colors are yellow and blue.


Our high school boys swim team usually enjoys the green dye though, as it's become expected that each year they bleach their hair and then later dye it. Green, pink, blue, red, purple... you name it, the team will have someone with that color hair! That can be pretty fun to see, especially when it doesn't completely disappear by prom. But hey, that's what you do for your team! The girls team didn't go all out, but this past year they died the tips various colors.

Anyways, this is one form of team spirit you can see nowadays and it's nice because a lot of people say we have no school pride. But who's to say they're wrong?
