Why don't they just tuck the hair inside their clothing?
Pete,
Ive played the Worlds Football ( Soccer ) all my life, and let me tell ya. There's noway your hair stays in your shirt when your playin.
Maybe tied around yer head....
But that would just look silly

Better to tuck it inside the helmet (if they can get it in). That's what I'd do.

Hey CA831,
Ive seen another long haired football dude get his HAIR PUULED OUT when some one tackled him. It was recently in a Pro game
Cant remeber what team. Red uniform I thinks
Been maening to ask you ever since I saw your PIC. Is that a Ukrainian or Russian folk dance shirt your wearing?
Steve
In the clip Polamalu said it didn't hurt.
That is a Russian rubashka shirt. I like Russian folk music and dance and once visited the Soviet Union with a UC Berkeley affinity group.
This is a different shirt (and wig and moustache), but here I am dancing in a performance:

No "action" pictures in this rubashka shirt though.
Looks like the one I use to wear when I was a Ukrainian dancer
Thats wear I get my Tag from
We were The Glinka Dance Troupe
