The Contest to Win Trevor Lawrence's Wig
The Jacksonville Jaguars posted on X a contest that lets any fan enter a drawing for the wig worn by quarterback Trevor Lawrence in the team’s 2026 schedule-release video. Only one wig is available; the winner will be selected at random.
Background: Schedule Video and Wig Reveal
The Jaguars released a video announcing the 2026 regular-season matchups in which Lawrence appears to receive a haircut. Because his long blond hair is a signature look, viewers assumed the cut was real. The team later posted a follow-up confirming the hair was a wig and explained the stunt. Lawrence told the Associated Press on May 26 that friends and family initially believed the change was genuine.
Key Numbers
2025 record: 13-4, earning a playoff spot. Wild-Card defeat: 27-24 to the Buffalo Bills. The 2026 schedule video featured the wig as a visual hook. Season opener: Jacksonville vs. Cleveland Browns on Sept. 13, 2026. Contest: one wig, entry via X, drawing method undisclosed.
Official Statements
The Jaguars’ announcement framed the giveaway as a chance for fans to own the “surprise style” shown in the schedule video. Lawrence described the short hair as a deliberate stunt, noting that his inner circle felt relief when they learned the hair was artificial and wondering how they would have reacted if the change were permanent.
Fan Criticism
Fans on X labeled the giveaway “diabolical” and criticized the team for turning a personal appearance into a marketing ploy. Commentators suggested the stunt trivialized the offseason and showed insensitivity toward Lawrence’s image.
