Prepare for your life to change as soon as you purchase this limited edition Hawthorn cap.

At least that’s what the Hawks are telling fans upon release of a Ben Stratton mullet hat.

That’s right. You can now have your own mullet, similar to the one sported by the triple premiership defender throughout 2018.

“This life changing hat will give you the irresistible look of a hipster half-back flanker from the mighty Hawks,” the item description declares on the club’s official online store.

“Prepare to receive some comments and looks when you start rocking the great Stratton #24 mullet baseball cap.”

That’s one amazing hat. And you can get it all that for just $35.

We’ve seen some out there accessories sold by AFL clubs in recent years — who remembers the Bulldogs’ owl-shaped doorstop? Or the Collingwood garter? Or the club solar toucans? Yes, you read that right. But this one has to be up there.

We have to give credit where it’s due, though. Hawthorn will donate $5 from every Ben Stratton mullet cap sold to the Movember Foundation in support of men’s health and wellbeing.

At least it’s in support of a good cause.

The AFL solar toucans. Wowee.
