Howler Reimagines Football Stars If They Played in the '70s, Results Are Amazing

This is truly outstanding work from the people at Howler magazine. They have created artwork revealing what modern football stars might look like if they played in the 1970s. 

This is an alternate world where Wayne Rooney never got a hair transplant, Neymar looks like a bad dude, and Hope Solo looks rather scary in a whole new way.

The pictures come from the latest edition of the U.S. magazine and have been created by animator/designer Chris Moran.

Super job from all, although we dread to think how much time 1970s Cristiano Ronaldo would spend grooming that 'stache of his.
