Netizens are taken aback by Patrick Mahomes’ new haircut, which many are not too fond of as they insist that the footballer revert back to his original style.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has unveiled a dramatic hair transformation, trading in his signature mohawk-inspired curls for a cleaner, shorter fade. The NFL superstar, known for his iconic, voluminous locks, surprised the public with the unexpected change, which was first noticed in a recently shared photo circulating online.
The image, posted on X by Major League Football (ML Football), captured Patrick Mahomes looking sharp in an all-black, form-fitting polo shirt, accessorized with a red rose pinned to his chest. Wearing dark sunglasses and sporting a neatly trimmed beard, Mahomes exuded confidence as he showed off his new, low-maintenance style.
The post’s caption reads, “🚨BIG NEWS: #Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes has cut off his mohawk after losing the Super Bowl last week. 👀👀👀 A WHOLE NEW LOOK FOR PAT MAHOMES.”

One X user poked fun at Mahomes’ new haircut, “Maybe with Patrick Mahomes’ new haircut, his helmet won’t sit so high on his head.” “Eagles beat up on Mahomes soo [sic] bad they made that boy get a haircut,” added someone else, referencing the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

On the other hand, some people love Mahomes’ new look. “He looks so much better!” declared an admirer, while another praised, “Looks more grown up, adulting!” Even someone who isn’t particularly fond of the football star commended, “Not a Mahomes fan, but the new haircut looks great!! ‘Bout time he changes it!”
While much of the online discourse centered around Mahomes’ new haircut, many overlooked a significant detail—the setting in which the now-viral image was taken.
