DeAndre Yedlin’s hair journey. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly and The Oh Dear God
Some athletes have that signature “thing” about them that makes them stand out. For some it’s a shoe. For others, it’s how they look in a uniform. For homegrown soccer star, DeAndre Yedlin, it’s his hair.
I’ve decided to go through some of the various stages of Yedlin’s hairstyle and present “the good, the bad, the ugly and the oh dear god!”
The Good
This is pretty normal and accepted, by Yedlin’s standards.

I can relate to this style on a personal level.
HALF-TIME! Manchester City 1-1 Newcastle
Raheem Sterling’s early goal looked to set City on course for victory but DeAndre Yedlin’s equaliser has Newcastle deservedly level.

This is where things go south.

I’m getting “late 90s boy band” vibes here. SMH.

Stepped out of an Eminem look-alike audition and decided to play soccer. Bold.

The Ugly
Pretty sure Rafa told him to change his hair.
“He’s put so much faith and trust in me, he’s taught me a lot. This city and this club need to keep Rafa - and for a long time. There’s a sense of unity under him. The reason I joined Newcastle was because I could see we could do great things.”
