I was going to post this last night, but I was too pissed about the refs hurting my game thread record :nonono:

It's kind of funny. Blake can grow a beard, but not a mustache. I'm pretty much the opposite. It's pretty disgraceful to be honest. I've been able to grow a mustache for quite some time. I can grow a little soul patch and a very thin goatee, but that is it outside of a few stray hairs on my cheeks.

Other teams do it. It's big in hockey and in the NFL, so it's cool. I'm glad that they didn't decide to all shave their heads bald. Outside of beards/facial hair, all that's left is headbands.

It's cool to see a lot of our guys being really good friends and acting mad silly around each other, especially Mo. Gotta give some mad props to Mo for embracing the situation he found himself in this year and not being a whiny bitch about it. He's been a true professional and I hope he's with us next year.

^ yeh i agree. Good to see our guys really growing together, they all look to be pretty close atm especially heading into the playoffs. As CP said, its not about the look, its about going all in for your team, sounds funny relating to a beard, but thats what playoffs are all about.

I can grow a pretty manly beard, but I'm getting a bit of premature baldness.... Thinking about going on Rogaine.

Just out of curiosity, does it run in your family? Growing up, I was always told by teachers and articles that it was based on the maternal grandfather. Now they're saying that is not necessarily the case. Both of my grandfathers have/had a head full of hair. My dad's is thinning, but he's 60 something years old. My brother's hair is thinner in the back than my dad's and he's around 10 years older than me.

I was glad to see Paul get into the act. He's always so serious, so it's good to see him fitting in and enjoying himself.

This was during the team photo shoot.

My biological father started balding at a young age, and now completely shaves his head. The biggest contributing factor is definitely genetics. Although it isn't always 100%.

Most of hair thinning in men is male pattern baldness. Categorized by a receding hairline, or when your crown starts thinning.

For me it's my crown that's starting to thin, specifically more on my left side.

screw it I'm growing out my beard too! I have a rap around but I'm going to go sides out and longer.

My job won't permit me to grow a beard. Not that I can grow a full beard anyway. I'll have to go with the mustache and side burns. I think it's a fun idea that they Clipper players are doing. This is a fun bunch.

Any other fans growing out beards in support of the team? I got mine going on! Time to post pictures of our progress through out our playoff run :-P

Being Armenian'll help me with growing my playoff beard! I get a 5'o clock shadow 10 minutes after I shave!

I may grow one, I haven't decided yet.

I already sport a beard, so I'm on board 8-)

I gotta be clean shaven for my work, otherwise I would grow one.

Problem is once it hits like 4 days my neck itches like crazy and I'm walking around scratching at it like Tyrone Biggums looking for them rocks.
