Headbands Need To Come Back

by Clive Longbottom-Fellow, Esq.

Socrates Headband

Full Disclosure:  I’m kinda old school.  Retro works for me.  For a while, even after long shorts started to became stylish, I still rocked the Maradona-like short shorts.  The Argentine sky blue shorts were my favorite.

With all the long hair running around these days, from Torres to Argentines to Drogba, I’m keen to see the old school headband come back.  I understand the lighter, less constricting string to hold your hair up, but really, nothing says man like an old school headband.  Tell ‘em, Socrates.

    What player! I suppose we can give a pass to the good players with this…. sort of iike the luminous coloured boots….

    In other words, if you are rubbish… keep your hair short and wear black boots….

  2. Me thinks facial hair needs to come back as well. Nothing more would scream “retro” in football these days like a proper man-stache or beard.
