After the war Fidel and Che were both keen on presenting the right image. They were called Barbudos, "the Bearded Ones," given the iconic beards of Castro, Guevara, and Camilo Cienfuegos (who would die shortly after the Revolution). They even named their baseball team after it (that's Fidel and Camilo). They appeared youthful and revolutionary, rather than dressing in suits and shaving their beards to look like every politician in the hemisphere.
