Snooker
Shaun Murphy and Judd Trump sparked a debate over snooker’s dress code.
When thinking about Professional Sport, does it matter what the Sportsperson wears to train / practice in? And by extension, is it strange that most Snooker Professionals do not wear Snooker clothing to practice in?
— Shaun Murphy (@Magician147) October 14, 2022
Personally the Dress code should of been changed a long time ago to something that enhances performance and not the opposite. The only sport/game wear the clothing actually gets in the way.
