Predator pants?

[rexus31]

Are you saying that if I have a pair of pants made by Dockers for hiking and a pair made by Champion for hiking I can't wear the Champion ones because of the brand name? Either way that's kind of ridiculous considering pool is supposed to be a "sport" worthy of consideration into the Olympics. I would think they would consider anything Predator makes as "sportswear" and they didn't seem to have a problem with the pants the pros were wearing that were marked with the Predator logo running down the side of the leg. Or the Ultimate Team Gear and Jam Up jerseys most of us were wearing. My problem with most pants is that I don't like to wear a belt while playing pool and if I'm doing that for 15+ hours a day for 2 weeks I want to be as comfortable as possible. We have people wearing crazy printed cargo shorts (aren't shorts made for sports?) women wearing leggings, pros wearing practically the exact same thing I was wearing but with a different, more prominent, logo, but all that's ok? Just seems hypocritical to me.

So you can't wear slacks without a belt and an untucked jersey or polo?

Hey, it's Vegas, right? The land of plain black pants. Just ask any blackjack dealer where he bought his. Predator pants? Why advertise for anybody who doesn't pay you to do so? That's why I always remove the dealership plate frames when I buy a car.

I take those off as well, but I don't remove all the badging Dodge and Ram and Ford put on my vehicles and I would bet neither do you.

You must have missed the part where I said I changed after the match. That's exactly what I ended up wearing. But why should I have to? I'd rather wear what's comfortable to me.

Promotors and sponsors can dictate dress code; it's their event. It sounds like you got called out for wearing sweatpants at an event where they weren't allowing sportswear and are making it sound like it was because of the brand. Maybe I'm missing something.

Because there's a dress code. I prefer to play in my PJ's in my garage because it's comfortable but I can't do that at a tournament. If you don't like the dress code, don't play.

Except I wasn't wearing sweatpants and the ref said it was specifically because of the brand

Obviously not since they let the same thing be worn but with a different logo

If they weren't sweatpants, what would they be considered? Pics?

 

[JMiller1975]

They would be considered pants. They had a logo on them which the ref said meant they were "sportswear" Thats where the problem lies.The other "pants" had a Predator logo but she was ok with those and didn't consider them "sportswear"

If these are them, I'd consider them sweatpants (activewear). The elastic waistband is the giveaway.

Other retailers refer to them as "Men's Workout Pants".

Jeans are allowed. If I wear jeans to play basketball in does that mean they're sportswear now?

those are most definitely not them

 

[rexus31]

You should have appealed. It says nothing in the dress code about sportswear or apparel with logos being prohibited. Did you play in the amateur or pro event? Here's the dress code for the amateur event.

So would these be acceptable?

I thought so to and those are the same rules I brought I up, but there's another page that prohibits "sportswear"

Correction, "sportswear" should read: "athletic wear of any kind"

 

[JMiller1975]

At the very least they should be honest and say you can wear athletic wear as long as it says "Predator"

That's a tough one. I think those would be classified as jeans unless they aren't denim but it appears as though they are.

Come dressed as THIS Predator.
