The description reads: "The tradition lives on! We’re celebrating America’s mullets with the official USA Mullet Champs Open Division.
"Long before it was popularised by actors and rock stars in the 1980s, the mullet has been traced back to warriors in Ancient Greece. Today mullet style and mullet culture is back, bro’, and in a big way.
