I work with a junior program where team jerseys are mandatory at certain national tournaments.

So I have a closet full of em like it or not. :)
 
so you're asking the (already struggling) players to take a cut in sponsorship and also remove their tattoos before playing?
No. Don’t get one unless you were a Marine that fought in WWII in the Pacific. The rest of you with sleeves look dirty. Unwashed.
 
It's not my thing but I don't care if others wear them. I also prefer Sneaky Pete cues and cues that are also not "loud" and showy with a lot of inlays etc. I tend to like more traditional looking stuff that doesn't draw a lot of attention to me.
 
Wearin' something, On Purpose, for a reason or as a team.. its A-OK by Me... Wearin' what you woke up in, is a character statement. The Pool Room I go to is an Upscale Room, so most Players dress Casual to "Bum" Status, Pool gravitates to Low-Rent atmospheres... But there was a time, back in the 60s-70s when that wasn't so...

Wearing what I woke up in would be really problematic for me...I sleep nude.
 
This comment publicly exposes your low IQ. Didn’t your mother teach you to never judge a book by its cover?
The guy is stuck in another time. That's all good just don't open your piehole. His stance is like a lot of out-to-pasture fossils ;) (i'm close btw at 64). There's this old dude that comes in the cigar shop and he gets all pissy when he sees any guy with hair longer than GI-issue buzz cut. We all give him shit. If he sees a NFL player with visible hair he goes off. Its kinda funny.

I don't mind the jerseys. Players in other pro sports wear jerseys. I think it is great for the amateur level too. I love going to state and national tournaments and seeing teams in jerseys. They have fun with in and helps them feel like they belong to a team. I have been a part of softball teams that literally dressed like major league teams. It's kind of cool.

I know people mentioned the dress code for snooker. I personally like it. It is the dress code (minus the bowtie) for the artistic pool events and it is how I dress for shows. If you present yourself as "somebody" and carry yourself as "somebody", people with think you are "somebody" before you even hit a ball. I see this everywhere I do a show. Next month I will be in Chicago doing a show. There will be more people there that don't know who I am versus those that do. However, when I walk in dressed in a vest and dress cloths, people automatically know that I am different from everyone there. I am gonna pull a quote from Dick Clark, "If you dress like someone in the audience, then you will eventually be in the audience."

just my 2 cents.

I get the team thing but in individual events to see all players in those spandex shirts just looks kinda goofy. I like the new Castore snooker garb. Very classy yet more traditional polo style.

I think a polo shirt is the best compromise for a dress code. More dressy than a tee-shirt. Less dressy than a button-up shirt. Collared. They easily tuck into pants if one wants to wear it that way. Works well not tucked in if it is not too long. They're plenty comfortable too if you choose a material to your liking. I'll usually wear a tee to the pool hall if I'm not playing, but I like to wear a polo shirt on the nights I play.

For sure, I am growing tired of seeing the same old shirts on every pro player out there with the funky patterns.
