The Maryland basketball team hasn’t traditionally been known for fashion. There are no headbands, no knee socks, no crazy kicks, no over-the-top tattoos. And the same goes for hair. No ponytails, no massive blow-outs, no monster cornrows. Wispy sideburns (coughvasquezcoughcough) and the high-and-tight are the looks of choice for the Terps.

But you know what? That could be changing. With the alternate uniform craze in full swing, Maryland has attracted some attention for being the only D-1 school with four team colors and, therefore, uniform possibilities. It’s been an incredible ride. I can’t go anywhere without seeing one of those French’s yellow gold unis. It’s like the school got a license to print money.

Anyway, now this newfound sartorial pizzaz may be taking hold in the player ranks. Well, maybe not. But one man, at least, has decided to keep it interesting from a follicular standpoint. No, it’s not the Sean Mosely mini-fro or the Jin Soo Choi Asia-Balti. It’s Eric Hayes. After keeping it sharp at first, he has recently let the mane go wild at times. WILD, I tells ya! Last year he cut it (drastically) short before the TV ACC season. Hopefully that doesn’t happen again. But in any event, I now give you…..the many looks of Eric Hayes. Please enjoy.

Thank you, Eric Hayes. You’ve made a slow news day a little less slow.
