How To Choose A Darts Shirt

The one question I'm often asked is what type of shirt should I wear to be playing darts? And the answer is a comfortable one. But the shirt should have plenty of movement so your arm is free to throw the dart. It should be light enough so as not to be uncomfortable after a long day and it can be a long day.

It might even be a very long match if you get to a world final. These particular Unicorn Darts shirts are very, very light. They are comfortable and they're easily embroidered so you can personalize your shirt.

With mine, I think it says world champion there and limestone cowboy there. But your team might be the red lion, it might be the snooty fox. Embroidery is very simply done and makes the team look good.

And I've always maintained, if you look good, you've got a chance of playing good. I also recommend that when selecting a shirt, you go for one with a decent pocket. So you can keep your darts and your accessories, flights, canes, whatever, close to you in your pocket.

And they're very handy. If you needed to change a flight for instance, you can do it straight away. You don't have to go offstage or backwards and pick up flights from a table or something, they're right there with you.

That's what you need for continuity. It helps you to play better. And on the subject of comfort, you mustn't forget what you wear on your feet.

A big darts tournament today, you could be on your feet for 12 hours during the day. Or one match could take you anything up to two hours. It's no good having blisters on your feet.

That certainly won't do you any good at all. Wear comfortable, smart, sensible shoes. And that goes for ladies as well.

You certainly don't want to be playing in high heels. So to recap, for the shirt as well as the shoes, you're looking for comfort, smartness, and a feeling of I'm better than the other guy because I look better than he does. And that's how to choose a darts shirt.
