Jaromir Jagr says he will bring back his famous mullet
In big fashion news, Jaromir Jagr has announced he will bring back his mullet for the 2015-16 NHL season.
The scoop was broken by George Richards of the Miami Herald.
Earlier in the preseason, Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo tweeted that he would try to get the 43-year-old Jagr to bring back the classic hairstyle.
After seeing Richards’ tweet, Luongo retweeted with the quote “Guys we did it!!!!!”

For fans of Jagr, this is great news. Jagr cut off his famous long locks in 1999 as he tried to mature into the face of a post-Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux NHL.
Since his return from the KHL in 2011, fans have been clamoring for him to bring back the hairstyle. His mullet has made lists as one of the most famous haircuts in sports. The Panthers held a mullet night last season in honor of their trade for the legend, who has 1,802 points in his career.
With the mullet, Jagr led the NHL in scoring three times and notched a career-high 149 points in 1995-96. Post-mullet he led the league in scoring twice.
