There was a time when athletes weren't considered to be on top of things when it comes to fashion. Remember those huge, ill-fitting suits NBA players used to wear?
Times have changed, though, and many players have become just as interested in fashion and branding as they are in Xs and Os. The pregame walk from the bus to the tunnel has become a runway of sorts.
From Joe Burrow's turtleneck and chain to Aaron Rodgers' denim Cowboy look, we've seemingly seen it all over the past few seasons.

But Von Miller's new haircut? The haircut that he presumably chose knowing that his new team, the Buffalo Bills, will be playing his old team and defending Super Bowl Champions, the Los Angeles Rams, in the NFL's season-opening game Thursday Night?
It looked like this:

I'm a sports writer and not a fashion icon myself, but that's weird, man. It's like... aliens and UFOs weird.
But maybe it's cool? Miller apparently thought so.
Who knows anymore.
