The Return of The Flyers & Jim Jackson’s Hair

jjacksonOctober has arrived. I love the brisk chill of Fall and the leaves turning colors. It also means the return of the Flyers and Jim Jackson’s hair. Yes, we are all going to have to look at this crazy, outdated hairstyle three times a week for the next eight months.

Jackson seems like a nice guy, a really nice guy. But, that hair. He’s gotta know it looks like a time machine dropped him off from 1979, right? The Flyers telecast producers have to know, right? What gives? How is he still rocking it? It can’t test well in focus groups.

I don’t know which drive me crazier. His blatant homer play-by-play where the Flyers do no wrong or his hair. Who am I kidding, it’s his hair.

If the hockey gods love us at all, they’ll have Jim Jackson get him a new hairstyle.

I mean, come on. That’s the elephant in the room, right? Someone should talk with him.

I know its rough to rock the hair with it receding. I’m a victim to it and eventually had to shave it down. If Gary Cobb would say Pam Oliver had a forehead so big it was a fivehead, he’d have to give JJ a twelvehead.

The receding hair sucks. I think it’s receding, right? Is that his natural hair line? Either way, it sits too damn high. The style screams 70’s TV actor. See James Garner from Rockford Files below.

If he’s not gonna trim it down, he might as well go full board and grab some plugs or a transplant. Thicken it up and rock the David Beckham look. That’s kind of what he’s already going for in a peculiar way. Here’s what it would look like:

That ain’t band but he’d need to cover some major forehead acreage and grow a little more scruff. He could also go Bradley Cooper if he got work done.

Should he happen to see the light, embrace his hairline hair and go for something new instead of holding onto his hairstyle from his 20’s, we have some mockups.

The ladies all love Daniel Craig, the Bond dude. He doesn’t have a thick shag of hair on top of his head. JJ could rock this:

That’s a much classier look. Jude Law is practically bald. He’s often found on Sexiest Male lists. JJ could rock it, but he’d have to flatten the top and push it forward a bit.

He can go Christian Slater style with a bit of product:

Finally, he could go Christoper Meloni of Law & Order SVU style and just cut it down!!

This is by far the hands down winner. Jackson’s wife would have to approve. He’d be a stud

Please Jim, for the love of the telecast, change it up, shorten it up, do something!
