It's a sad, sad day when the Pirate King of Seattle goes all corporate on us. Is Mr. Levesque planning to go in for a job interview with new USMNT coach Jurgen Klinsmann? Does he have a new girlfriend who forced him to clean up? Has he, gasp!, decided that the bearded look is just passe? Anyone have any theories they'd like to share? (photo via @chrisegan5)

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY STUPID
YOU DO NOT SHAVE THE MUSTACHE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SOUNDERS’ HOTTEST STREAK EVER. WHAT THE HELL, ROGER?

Perhaps Roger Levesque is some sort of anti-Samson and will gain power from cutting his facial hair.

Actually, I fear some Delilah got hold of him...
If you recall, he got a similar “clean” look at the start of the 2010 season…and played very poorly until his hair and beard grew back.
(Well, at least we’ve got Fucito for the duration…)
He must have driven to a Portland Best Buy or Fry's to avoid paying sales tax
and needed a disguise to get out of there alive.

First of all...
is that where he went during the off-week?
Secondly, they don’t have sales tax in Maine?
Third, why do his hometown peeps hate him?
He's tired of endangered species of birds nesting in his beard

What if he's just testing out some new bald cap for facial hair?
Maybe part of some elaborate goal celebration where he rips the bald cap off and BOOM! Instant facial hair.

He should have busted out the razor on the pitch after his next goal.
Actually, vs The Crew he could have probably shaved during the run of play.

He's building inner-city relations
By donating his ample facial hair to needy Timbers unable to grow their own. I believe the Levesque-stache was donated to a rookie in need name Darlington Nagbe.
Went to Vegas...
…during the break, lost a bet, woke up shaved… He may have gotten a tattoo and he does not know yet ;-)
The Pirate King needs his own song...
Don’t know why it didn’t occur to me before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ7SVMVrick
Chorus starts at 1:12
For he is a Pirate King
He is HURRAH for the Pirate King
And it is, it is, a glorious thing to be a Pirate King
(repeat)
Yeah, I can hear 37,000 people singing that!
Roger
Some people look better with facial hair. You are one of them.
You will hear us on Brougham, you will hear us on Occidental, you will hear us on King. Our yachts are all around you, there is no escape.

He's satisfying the yacht club dress code
Too bad he didn’t show up in a blue blazer and white captains’ cap…‘ahoy palloy, where’d you come from, a scotch ad?’
Good news for me today, here in Quebec City and in Montreal where I spent the morning; both cities have major thoroughfares called Boulevard R. Levesque, a familiar name that helped me avoid getting lost in both cases
You will hear us on the Narrows
