football hair 

A hairstyle associated largely with African-American men who play American football; essentially a mass of long, haphazardly-done braids, it is somewhere between dreadlocks and cornrows. Sort of like hockey hair for black people.

I saw a guy walking down the street the other day. He was about 6'6" in a business suit with a serious case of football hair, and I had to seriously resist the temptation to ask him where he played.

Rugby is much rougher then football so the way he grabbed his hair made him understand the difference.
