Facial hair has become more of a fashion statement over recent years and not just the “playoff beard” variety. Here’s some of our all-time favorites.
–

Best ‘Stache – Rollie Fingers

Clearly this was Dzuris’ inspiration for his handlebar mustache. They don’t get much better than this.

Best Beard – Brian Wilson

Sometimes it’s not enough to grow a thick beard. Sometimes you have to dye it shoe polish black.

Best Fu Manchu – Hulk Hogan

Some even refer to the Fu Manchu as the Hulk ‘stache. It’s as iconic as it gets and even attempting to imagine him without it is just wrong.

Aaron Rodgers and Joe Flacco both channeled their inner Hulk and grew the Fu. Flacco’s teammate Dennis Pitta even joined in the fun.

Best Mutton Chops – Walt Frazier

Of course when Orioles 1B Eddie Murray connected mutton chops to his mustache it pioneered a whole new facial hair category.
