Dress code for Pro Dart Players

[*Saber*]

Is there a dress code for professional darts players?
All players must wear black trousers and shoes. Shirts may be any colour but not carry anything that may be deemed offensive.

The trousers don't have to be black, but there is a section on playing attire in the DRA rule book

5.25 Playing Attire:
5.25.01 Players are not permitted to wear jeans: neither shall they wear trousers or skirts made with denim or corduroy material which have been fashioned in a “jeans style”. No training shoes will be allowed unless the Player provides written medical reasons from a qualified practitioner. This restriction shall also apply to any form of “track suit” attire.
5.25.02 No headgear, other than on religious grounds, or medical grounds with written medical reasons from a qualified practitioner, shall be worn without the
prior permission of the Promoter following a written application from the Player.
5.25.03 Players are not permitted to wear anything over their approved Playing Attire in any introductions, match play on stage, interviews and presentations, other than at the discretion of the Promoters.
5.25.04 In all Darts Events the Playing Attire of any participating Player shall be subject to the Promoter’s approval. Any unacceptable Playing Attire must be
changed before that Player can participate in any introductions, Match play on stage, interviews and presentations.
5.25.05 Any Player refusing to meet with a Promoter’s requirements in respect of that Player’s Playing Attire shall be liable to forfeit that respective match and shall be reported to the Council of the DRA for disciplinary proceedings to be considered.

Thanks Mike for the real deal stuff.

The BDO have something similar, but they don't specifically mention trainers. I can't remember which event it was but on one of the BDO streams one of the finalists on the stage was wearing trainers, so presumably the BDO aren't too fussed on this aspect - unless trainers are inlcuded in the definition of "track suit attire".

Here in Southern California, the Shoes rule would have to read "Please wear shoes. We don't care what kind. No flip-flops, no open-toed sandals, no bare feet."

Black Trousers....

Perhaps this is folklore, but I was told a story long long ago...about a professional player who wore khaki colored trousers....he returned to the stage after a break and he suddenly realized that he had a prominent wet spot in the crotch area of his trousers that he could not hide. Oops!
