MILWAUKEE (AP) — A Green Bay Packers fan and entrepreneur says running back Eddie Lacy, whose dreadlocks can be seen flying as he racks up rushing yards, is the inspiration for his cheese-themed headgear. Thomas Gryniewicz says his Chedlocks hat is a modern take on the famous cheese head wedges originally developed by Foamation Inc. in 1987. Gryniewicz says orders for his Chedlocks began picking up after he wore the hat with its long, dangling cheddar cheese-colored dreadlocks to Packers’ games at Lambeau Field this season. Gryniewicz says that he hasn’t been able to keep up with orders lately for the handmade wool hats, especially after ESPN cameras showed him wearing the cheesy dreadlocks during the Dec. 8 game against the Atlanta Falcons. He says the Chedlocks can also be worn under other hats, including a cheese wedge for those who like double cheese.
