A franchise close to Brady’s heart, the New England Patriots, recently shared a picture of the legend on their X account. The image is of Brady sporting a look not everyone remembers. He is seen with long golden hair in a red colored Patriots jersey. The post’s caption is, “Just a little off the top?” hinting at how brilliantly Brady carried off this look. While re-sharing the post, TB12 took it to another level with his caption, blending two funny yet challenging conditions. The conditions that followed the re-post are as follows: “50k likes and I’ll unretire grow it back out.”

The picture is from a time when Brady first entered the NFL. His long hair over his shoulders had a long and layered look. The look was shaggy, which made it large in volume. Brady retired on February 1 last year, so he may be joking about his unretirement. Still, he will never miss a chance to make a comeback, as he claimed before his special night.

Brady will be inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame on June 12. It is good news for the Patriots and Brady fans as the franchise’s owner, Robert Kraft, has created a $6 million budget plan to honor their former star QB. The event venue will be the Gillette Stadium, which will occur between 7 and 9:30 in the evening. June 12 has been strategically chosen to pay tribute to Brady’s jersey number, 12. The ticket price went as high as $100 due to increased demand.
Fans are already in a frenzy. While appearing on the web series Deep Cut, the quarterback legend hinted at a path that opens his possibility of returning to the NFL. The 46-year-old legend now owns a minority share in the Las Vegas Raiders and cannot participate on the field per NFL rules. On that note, Brady confessed, “I don’t know if they are going to let me if I become an owner of an NFL team. I’m always going to be in good shape. I’ll always be able to throw the ball. So, to come in for a little bit, like (Michael Jordan) coming back, I don’t know if they would let me. But I wouldn’t be opposed to it.”
