Post Your Flacco-Inspired Facial Hair

 

 

From Lutherville-Timonium Patch editor Nick DiMarco: 

Santa Claus has his trademark beard. Joe Flacco has his signature 'stache. 

With that in mind, I "mustache" you a question:

Will you join our Patch region in celebrating the subtle elegance of the handle-bar facial scruff? 

Everybody is doing it!

Baltimore Magazine's Max Weiss scored this exclusive sonogram photograph of Joe Flacco's baby. (Humor.) 

Still not convinced? Read on to see what Havre de Grace Patch editor Sean Welsh—our veteran sports guru—has to say about his Flacco-shave experience. 

From Havre de Grace Patch editor : 

Joe Flacco—trendsetter.

Call it the JoeTee, or the FlaccoStache. Whatever it is, the Ravens quarterback's funky facial hair has become a talking point in Baltimore.

I decided to give it a go for the first time ever after the Ravens dismantled the Indianapolis professional football team Sunday.

My first go-round with the Flacco inspired 'do lasted about half an hour. Enough time to snap a pic for Patch and shoot off a text to my wife, who replied with this classic response:

Yuck.  Not a fan

That's fine, me neither. I buzzed it before going to pick up our kids. My daughter would have given me this line:

Daddy, your face looks funny.

Flacco told CSNBaltimore.com that his wife "shook her head and laughed."

So, until I become an NFL quarterback in another life—or at least create a me look-a-like with whatever facial hair I'd like on a video game—I'll go back to the usual: clean shaven to slightly-scruffy, in no particular fashion.

In the meantime, send us your best shots from your inner circle. Maybe your friends have a really cool one going.

I know Nestor Aparicio of WNST has a fantastic one going right now.

I'll counter with one of my local favorites—Ravens superfan himself, .

So, snap a picture of your favorite Flacco-inspired facepiece, click below, and let the rest of your neighbors join in on the fun. Heck, maybe you'll inspire someone with your unique mug.
