Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins debuted a brand-new mustache at his team’s preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday, and it was a doozy.
Cousins sported the handlebar mustache look, once popularized by professional wrestler Hulk Hogan. The mustache is Cousins’ most pronounced facial hair choice of his career, and it absolutely caught everyone’s attention as he showed it off on the sideline.
Does he pull it off? It is just way, way too much for someone like Cousins to sport such a bold mustache choice? Do you now want a handlebar mustache? All thoughts are valid on Cousins’ new ‘stache.

This was quite a surprise for Vikings fans to see their QB1 sporting such a look, and perhaps it will embolden him on the field to get the Vikings as far as possible this NFL season.
With the handlebar mustache, anything is possible.
As you can imagine, NFL fans had plenty of thoughts about Cousins’ brand-new look.
Cousins earned some new fans with his new 'stache.

I want so badly for Kirk to rock it for the entire season while he tears through defenses and leads our offense as a top 5 unit.. but he’s gonna shave and go back to looking like your average Kohl’s shopper #Skol https://t.co/6ohJz7WAvW

Based off what I remember the stache is called “The Cowboy” on Madden, so I think Kirk’s new nickname is “Cowboy Kirk” as long as he has the stache @Vikings @NFL @EAMaddenNFL https://t.co/8NCTYNkJ2W
