Colonel Sanders and KFC Drop The Mustache For Movember

Published

Filed under

Movember is an annual campaign aimed at raising funds and awareness around men’s health issues, such as prostate and testicular cancer, as well as male suicide. Participants grow mustaches (the “mo” in Movember, naturally) and raise money in November, rocking a Selleck, Mercury, and, hell, even a Rollie Fingers. Those already sporting sweet ‘staches start by taking a razor to the face at the start of the campaign, which can be a jarring new look when facial hair is part of one’s longstanding appearance.

The new look, designed by agency Sid Lee Paris, is not a permanent change, just a temporary makeover done to heighten awareness of Movember. The Kentucky Colonel’s signature van dyke was back the next day.
