New Orleans Saints wide receiver Willie Snead is legally blond and is taking it in stride.

Snead says he asked his barber for blond tips, but the request was misinterpreted, and he's sporting a completely new look as a result.

Although his teammates relentlessly joked at his expense, Snead was nonchalant about the mishap.

"I'm just having some fun," Snead said, according to Rod Walker of The New Orleans Advocate. "It's a new look. I don't really think much of it. I wanted the tips blond and the whole head ended up being blond. It's going to have to wear on people. We'll see how it goes. If it doesn’t work, I'll change it up."
