The Colorado School of Mines Football team is really good on the field, having finished as the NCAA Division II national runner-up the last two seasons, but it’s their haircuts that get them the most attention…

The Orediggers are carrying on their tradition of featuring very unique roster photos…

Unlike traditional photos, the players go a step further with funky hairdos, interesting facial hair and more. The 2024 roster photos were released yesterday (Aug. 19), and this year blue hair dye and bleach took center stage, with players sporting everything from blue mohawks to bleach blonde styles.

Check out all the roster photos here. But here are a few of our favorites…
