10 WWE Superstars In Desperate Need Of An Image Update

5. The Bar

The Bar's gear sends an unintentionally hilarious message: We are definitely a tag team. Everything from that production meeting made it to screen. You get the distinct impression that, had Cesaro not succumbed to male pattern baldness, he'd have dyed his hair copper.

It just looks a bit elaborate - even silly - considering their smash-mouth power game stylings. The khaki green trench coats are presumably pitched after the working class European football hooligan/skinhead aesthetic - a choice undermined and confused by the '80s aviator shades, a symbol of middle class affluence. They are all over the place. In trying to put over a strange bedfellows pairing as a tag team, Cesaro and Sheamus have become three tag teams at once. This hasn't done a great deal of harm, admittedly - most fans are grateful that some sort of effort has been made - but the look will never approach the realm of iconic, and it counts for so much.

Sheamus, in particular, needs to remove that mohawk. That's how he should have visualised his new bond with the Swiss Superman. The "You look stupid!" chants never cease, and never cease to undermine his aura as a sh*thouse.
