So Where's The Gear For Us Older Players???

Typically, I do not wear pool related clothing but, to be honest, I wouldn't mind if there were options that didn't have bold artwork and/or sayings on them that are better suited for twenty-something year olds.

I have a couple of csi polo shirts that are nice and I know hustlin' usa makes a polo shirt, too, but they tend to be a little over the top for my taste.

Funny how when I see older players wearing Hustlin' gear it gives me a shiver..., well, all except one person...

I don't know why but when I see Efren wearing them, it doesn't bother me one bit. Can't figure it out - I think he could wear a pink moo-moo and I'd still be so enthralled with his play that it wouldn't matter - I think. :wink:

So, am I the only one who thinks there's a good market for more conservative pool related t-shirts and polos?

Any already out there that I've missed?

Best,
brian kc <------ who has an idea for a pool t-shirt that would sell like hotcakes, but again, targeted at younger players.

p.s. "sell like hotcakes" reminds me of George Carlin who asked "couldn't they come up with something better than hotcakes?" He went on to say that if you go out to breakfast you'll see that they're selling, for instance, many more eggs than hotcakes but it wouldn't sound as good to say "Michael Jackson's new album is selling like eggs". :grin-square:

I usually don't go for a particularly garish appearance on the outside, Brian. Normally it's jeans and a tee-shirt.
But, on the inside however, I like to spice things up a bit. :smile:

P.S. If only poor Sally had been wearing a pair of these the night she died.

Brian,

I don't know if button-up Hawaiian-style shirts are your "cup of tea", but if you go on E-bay there are many of these types of shirts for sale that have pool-related designs on them.

I cannot remember what keywords I used in my search, but I'm sure an intelligent fellow like yourself can figure it out.

Maniac (happy hunting!!!)
 
I've got some 'Shoot Pool, Not People' t-shirts...good for any age.

...How about....My Grandkid Can Give Your Grandkid The Orange Crush...
 
I have two shirts I really like to wear, while playing.

One is made by Tommy Bahama. It's called, The Pool Man.

The other is made by, Nat Nest. It was a gift from my Brother and sister-in-law.

Both are very comfortable.

The Nat Nest has a full rack of balls on it. All of the balls are the right colors.

I recommend both products. They are pricey.
 
I would bet that Efren wears a Hustlin' tee-shirt because Hustlin' pays him to wear it. He probably doesn't even know what it says.

I feel the same way you do. At 59 years old the only "loud" tee-shirts I've got left are my Led Zeppelin and Allman Brothers concert tees.

I'd like to see a polo with a 9-ball rack in the logo-spot.
 
Brian:

How about these guys?

The stuff is definitely not "on the nose" or over the top as others are. They have more than your average (and <yawn> overplayed) T-shirt design as well. For instance, polos, pull-overs, long-sleeves, turtlenecks, button-downs, silk, etc.

It's all at your local Drug store.
Ben-Gay muscle rub
Depends adult underwear
Knee brace
Elbow brace
Wrist brace
5 hour energy drink
Reading glasses
Support socks
Canes
Pretty much everything for the older player.
