Poker T Shirt – What’s Hot?

Just like any other media driven sport in the world, poker has its own fashion, in particular the ever so popular poker t shirt, having its own distinct look. And just like all other sport related looks, the ‘poker look’ stems from the stars of the sport. You have your jerseys from sports like football and hockey, polo shirts from golf, the suburban look of extreme athletes, and many other looks. So what makes a good poker t shirt? And what exactly is the ‘poker look’? Let’s take a look…

Firstly there is the old school poker look, which is mainly worn by the old school players, although there are a few newer players that have adopted the look. This look involves a cowboy hat of some design, usually a sports jacket that doesn’t necessarily have to match the rest of the outfit, and in many cases big glasses to match.

Secondly there is the mid generation geek look which consists of no real style at all except the most plain shirt possible, maybe a comb over and in many cases a sweater. Definitely not the poker look that you should be aspiring to!

Thirdly there is the ‘big player’ look worn by the players who try to impress while they play. All that is needed for this look is a nice shirt, not quite buttoned up all the way, a gold chain or two and a haircut that Tom Cruise would envy.

The most popular look though is the more modern new generation poker look. What’s needed for this look is any combination of sunglasses, an mp3 player, a baseball cap and some piece of clothing that has some poker phrase or logo predominantly displayed across the chest. And this is where the rise in the popularity of the poker t shirt has emerged.

Three of the most popular poker t shirt designs are:

• The popular “but they were suited” quote;
• A simple “pocket aces” poker hand for luck;
• The even luckier “royal flush” monster hand;

Wearing a poker t shirt is fun for everyone, because they tell a story and all the other poker players out there can easily relate. If you are going to play poker this weekend or anytime in the future, then you might as well wear a poker t shirt. Not only will the people at the table talk about your shirt, they will also want to get one themselves.
