The best and worst of powerhouse ponytails: Ibrahimovic vs. Drogba

Following the theme of the last post, I will pick the best and worst of a certain hairstyle. The chosen hairstyle this time will be ponytails. While choosing the best ponytail is like choosing between drowning and burning, I'll do my best. However terrible the idea of a man having a ponytail is, there at least can be one good thing can be said. When analyzing from the campbell point-of-view, neither of the following players can be said to have been heavily influenced by society's standards.
First up is the loser of our showdown, Chelsea's Dider Drogba. While the functionality of his hair can not be argued, his headers are some of the most lethal in the English Premier League, the style is in obvious question. It's a bit of a halfhearted effort in terms of execution, when compare to our victor you can see where the Ivory Coast striker is lacking. One point, though, is that when you make the risky decision of rocking a ponytail you probably should take the receding hairline into account.
Above is the man who I have decided to be the lesser of two evils. That man is AC Milan's Swedish forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Ibras' ponytail is done a little more justice by the fact it isn't always utilized. When ponytail-less, Ibra has arguably some of the best flow in European soccer. While the length of his hair makes the ponytail a little more serviceable, he essentially won this matchup based on the fact I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
