Dress codes in Snooker should be abolished

If players were allowed to wear trackies/joggers I would literally cringe.

I'm considering implementing a dress code on Snooker Island. #LordingIt

My issue was it seems impractical to me, with all the bending and stretching.

Not really that the players can't show us their personality.

But we're going round in circles here.

I should've just left it at my 'hard sell' comment.

Well exactly and that's what Willo goes to dinner in

I wear tracksuits.

Even actual track athletes don’t wear tracksuits when performing in their sport.

I think snooker players should wear white T-Shirts and shorts, so we can make the sport more like tennis.

Think about that when you're watching Hamilton, Walker and Lawler today.

And Elizabeth Duke sovereign rings.

Those the ones from Argos?

Anthony. Hamilton.

The end World Snooker World Championship match for the end Snooker World Championship Trophy should be best of 40 between the Men's and Women's World Champions. Without a dress code. If it ends 20-20 it becomes a Sudden Death Black Ball play off.

I agree that the dress code has been too dull for the past 20 odd years, but a complete abolition I think is going too far. I think there should be a code, but a code that enables players to have plenty of leeway for personal choice.

The kind of stuff you sadly don't see any more:

Every sport has a dress code. You don't see footballers or Olympians wearing jeans do you.

Its the snooker dress code and it should stay.

I'd say keep the dresscode.

Not so bad overall, I've seen worse at the club, altough Judd is borderline.

Looks like Snooker is hard on the knees with the amount of hole in their trousers.

Higgins’ have worn away so badly the bottom halves have fallen off!

I would get rid of the bow ties maybe (Alex Higgins look) but also perhaps the waistcoats.

Alternatively we could make them play in gorilla costumes.

I'd still watache.

Wouldn't cost much for Ronnie.
