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.

Don’t laugh about my mom-ever. Got it? I ain’t playing

Say what you like about me. Not my mom. That’s a no go zone!

She’s dead🙏🏼

And she was, I bought her and my dad a house. Was the all time greatest feeling I ever had. The next door neighbor put his house on the market and I bought it that day. In 99. How many people you know who did that.

Also when both my parents were sick and dying I had nurses in the house 24/7 as I refused to put them in a “home” to just die like most people do.

I roll hard. I don’t fuck around when it comes to people I care about

Fatboy

I don't care for tattoos, but if someone wants to get them, have fun. One aspect is the permanence of them. People do change their minds as they get older.They are worn to make a statement, and some like the statement and some don't. As far as jerseys, on a team I played league with, we had black tees with the team name on the back, and first name on the front. Very casual looking and feeling, and we didn't stand out. It had sort of a bonding effect on us.
 
This is SO far and away the best pool jersey ever....

Tattoos are not just to make a statement... speaking as someone with 50+ of them, which for the most part, people who don't know me well don't know I have them... But agree, who the fuck cares what other people want to do with their body, let alone why they choose to get them. One of the dumbest questions I'm ever asked is 'what does that mean?' ... Means I wanted a F tattoo...

Team or singles tourneys, I am for jerseys. Casual play at a bar... GTFO 🤣

Wear a golf shirt with one logo. Tuck it in. Comb your hair. No caps. Long pants. No tats. Stop looking like thugs. Clean up you act. Promote the sport. Get it out of the gutter.

Funny thing is I don’t give a rats ass what people think of my tattoos, none of them have any real meaning to me either lol.

They are just a form of art I enjoy-I always have. I don’t act differently because I have them, I’m not crafting an image trying to look like something I’m not. That’s all way too deep for me. They are just art, nothing more or less.

Never understood why some ppl get so emotional about a little ink. I’m the same guy I was before I had tattoos, I got my first one 30 years ago.

If a person whose personality changes because they got tatted up, that person needs a shrink with a full season package of tickets to get their head screwed in properly.

Fatboy<———making the world a better place one tattoo at a time…..🤣😂
 
Depends...

Pro's, certainly. But that doesn't mean one has to look like a bowler on Wednesday beer-league night. But thank God the black vests and bow-ties are loooong gone. As a former pro mogul skier, we HAD to wear several sponsorship logos, but that didn't mean our ski clothing came from the circus.

For amateurs, certainly not. I can't even stand to see those "Hustlin'" shirts or "Shoot balls, not people" T shirts in our local rooms. They scream "I play 8 ball pool" and personally, I can't wait to beat your sorry ass in rotation or one pocket - a game you've probably never even watched, much less played. It's almost like sports jerseys. Tell me how a real man ENJOYS wearing another man's name on his back?

Oh God, here comes the haters.

The event producer. I saw somebody compete in overalls with nothing underneath at Derby City one year and all I could think was "I hope no potential sponsor of pro pool is here today." How players present themselves affects potential sponsorship in pool.

"overalls with nothing underneath at Derby City" ?? You sure SJM you didn't capture your own reflection in the mirror? LoL Just kidding brother. I can't agree more. Behind the cue, we all need to be 'salesmen" and cognizant of just who might want to advance our cause. Hope to see you at the '24 Mosconi.
 
I've worked as a stagehand for years , one of the perks of the job is at times a free tee shirt , so I wear concert swag quite often when playing league pool or in tournaments for that matter .

What I have thought about doing is getting a nice shirt then have " This space for rent " embroidered on it ha ha

As for tattoos , I'm ink free I figure I've got enough surgery scares and cuts and scratches that have healed up that I've gotten from a lifetime of hard work , I'll be damned if I'll pay someone to add to it ha ha
What others do is there business besides I've been stuck with way more than enough needles for blood draws to make sure I'm still cancer free and healthy !
