Sannoh, the defending national champions, are a team of buzz cut hair. Here are their starters:

Even their substitute (Mikio) has the same haircut:

This gives the team a very distinctive appearance and no doubt makes them look intimidating.

  • Was it ever explained in the manga (or other media) why they all have this haircut?
  • Were they based on some real-life team or players that had this haircut?

    Sports teams have somewhat military parallels. The idea is that by making everyone wear a uniform (and get the same haircut) it helps group cohesion and improves team work. It helps reinforce the idea that no one is special; there is no "i" in team. Like with the army, you can check your individuality and uniqueness at the door; there's a job to be done. More importantly, it doesn't just make them *look* serious, it makes them *feel* serious. – mfoy_ May 07 '15 at 20:05
