Worst 80s' Hair (pictures, please)

[The Panther]

The 1980s was a fun, high-flyin' era in pro-hockey. It was not a good era for hair. What'cha got?


Darren Puppa, with standard-issue mullet:

Wendel Clark, with the regrettable "mullet-shave":

Bobby Clarke tried to get cast on Dynasty, but forget to get his teeth done:

In 1981, Lafleur and Gretzky model the "receder" and the "bubble-perm", respectively:

Mike Gartner rocked the Magnum-P.I. "blow-dried with porn-stache":

Doug Gilmour with the "Rambo""

I can't find any decent pic of Kerry Fraser in the 80s, but he certainly owned the "slickster" look.

Also, did no one actually have a "rat-tail" in the NHL?

Technically 70s, but Dave Kryskow had a gnarly mop.

If by "worst 80s hair" you mean "best 80's hair" then I agree.

He actually looks pretty cool like this. He should have kept it instead of going for the slick-Rick style.

If Tuukka Rask grew his hair out, he'd look just like Eddie Van Halen

Half the people in my class had Ronning's style.

Kryskow and Fraser are 1970's and I'll go with that!

Bill Goldsthorpe (Was the basis of Ogie Oglethorpe)

Duke Harris (only 30 at this time)

Steve Durbano (Hair is actually ok - but it's not growing from his head...)

My, some of these pics kind of show how legally phasing in helmets (beginning in 1979) might not have been a completely bad idea, lol, eh?

Mike Gartner had a lovely hair. Once you're so well set, you can't go wrong (unless you go for your mullet).

Mike Ricci does not belong either. The pic is not from the 80s and his hair is pretty cool. He was in his jocks-are-dull-and-I'm-a-hippy-now phase. Post-grunge era. Nothing wrong to let them down, unless yοu're about to shed them.

Al Iafrate is your winner here. A trailer park hero.

... hadnt heard his "look" labeled that before but ya, bang on. poor guy was apparently
pretty self conscious about his hair loss, rumored he showered post game with his helmet on.

It's unbelievable when you consider how much this guy was probably spending on hair and clothes.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Gretzky's ungodly combo of a mullet and feathering...

he liked those benetton shirts

it begs the question, did his wardrobe inspire the paintings, or did the paintings inspire his wardrobe?

man, google image search is a goldmine for embarrassing gretzky photos--

and here's are a couple of hair-specific ones:

Is that Ellen Degeneris in the pastel sweater?
