Since I'm such a critic...I'll at least try to offer a constructive idea I have that the experts may be able to work with.

Pool/Billiards have a lot of common patterns. Examples would be common things you find on cues. Diamonds, points, rings, etc. I think there could be ways to subtly incorporate these into shirt collars, sleeves, etc.

Also, models could help. Not just a picture of a shirt with no one wearing it. You could have someone in one of your nice polos, but show someone in a full get up with nice pants, shoes, etc. You're selling an image, a lifestyle after all...are you not?

playthegameclothing...looking at their stuff...which to me is better than most that I've seen...is getting close. I still don't think I need a pic of an actual rack or 8 ball to have a "pool shirt" though.

I understand. I'm actually releasing a line of polos, but I haven't spent much time or effort developing it because the demand simply isn't strong enough. That's on top of all the other products I will soon be selling, such as 3D printed goodies, cases, etc. I appreciate your input - I just think it's a false statement that pool is where it is because of clothing.

You're right, that was an unfair statement about pools state. I'm a data person...so I'm trained to recognize trends, patterns, and analyze outcomes based on input and output of information. I see pool in a certain mental state...then see what I seem to only find in clothing of "pool players". I make correlations, but my statement was from incomplete data...ie false. Again, I apologize.

I don't mind the t shirts with humor pics/phrases on them but I would definitely like to see some polo or even short sleeve button up pool shirts. Depending on how good they look I might buy a couple, short sleeve polos in particular.

Does anyone remember bowling shirts from back in the day? These vintage garments now get swooped up by the hipsters quicker than your granddaddy's green trousers and purple cardigan sweaters.

In the World Matches held recently, did anyone see those shirts the guys from Poland were wearing? Very nice!

As I mentioned, I collect Harley Tees from my travels. I prefer Billiard tees from the actual Hall with their name and logo on it.

Anyone have any, I will take them.

Even Matches and Tourneys like the ones I just got from ScottyB are prefect. PM me, if you have access to any.

I like your shirts and would order a Bata shirt in a second if I could get an answer to an question I asked before - are the shirts with players on it done with permission of the player?

Gideon<---I'm not going to wear Efren's face without his permission.

To the shirt guys on this thread:

I would love to see a T-shirt come out with a graphic
of a curled palm up hand holding a cue ball and a 5 ball.

The slogan would be:

NITS LOVE THE NUTZ

The 5 ball represents only going to 5 in 9 ball
or only going to 5 balls in one pocket.

Maybe the Hustlin' USA guys would be better suited for this one.


BTW: For shirts with real class: http://www.playthegameclothing.com/\
gives everyone else the 7 out.
