Consider the mullet.
Short and even corporate-friendly in the front, but lush and untamed in the back, flowing rebelliously down the neck to the collar. You could also look at it as full and substantive in the back, with no need to grow it further, whereas in the front, it lacks the same level of hirsute glory that some believe hair should be. Ask any hair metal band from the ‘80s, and they’ll likely tell you a mullet is only halfway to glory.
Thus, how it is with today’s version of the Austin FC roster.
