In this weeks entry we will dissect the haircuts of two Arsenal mainstays; they are both unique to say the least. To the right we have Marouane Chamakh of Morocco; and underneath this writing is Alex Song of Cameroon. Both of these players have utilized an important aspect of blogging in their selection of haircuts, the creation of self identity. What type of identity they have created for themselves will be told in the following paragraphs.Mr. Chamakh came to Arsenal as a promising young forward and has since fallen to often riding the bench. It was hard to picture him as an electric scoring threat when he seems to be balding in his ripe old 20's. Rather than going with the seemingly honorable way out and getting a simple buzz cut; he went for a look that makes him seem like a 50-something-year-old former cast member of the Jersey Shore. The identity he has seemed to create for himself is one of self-unawareness. The following picture goes to show that he should be a perfect candidate for the Moroccan Shore.
After reading Chamakh's paragraph I'm sure it is rather obvious the winner of this post's showdown is none other than Alex Song. Rather than go the route of trying to become too flashy when leaving his native Cameroon to play in England; Song seemingly wanted to pay homage to his heritage and rock the long natural hair. His hair has long been a thing worthy of fandom amongst already devout Arsenal fans. This is completely evident when looking at a shirt sold on a popular Arsenal blog site. Anytime someone's hair is compared to an art masterpiece I believe it's safe to say they must be doing something right.
