Well-known poker brands release branded shirts, hoodies, hats, and other accessories for the fans.
In the past, you’d overpay for a screen-printed t-shirt or perhaps a coffee mug. But now, your favorite poker site is likely selling much higher-quality merchandise. Of course, you must still be wary of high prices. Poker apparel isn’t always cheap, but it has a certain level of exclusivity. This stuff isn’t found at the local shopping malls.
If you love this game and want to show it to others, you’ve got many options. In this article, we’ll show you poker shirts and some of the accessories sold alongside them.
Poker Shirts from the World Series and Other Top Brands
There’s quite a range of poker shirts and other apparel to choose from. The quality and prices vary too.
Chinese manufacturers have made poker fashion cheaper, but some companies definitely leverage their brand and exclusivity. Still, if you buy a poker shirt, it’s unlikely you’ll pass by the same one on the street (unless you’re at the Main Event in one of the World Series of Poker shirts).
Etsy and Ebay are options for custom poker shirts. If you want to wear something from a well-known brand, you’re covered. Besides clothes, you will also find other useful accessories in the shops, like flash drives, funny mugs designs, phone cases, and decks of cards.
Here are a few poker sites and tournament hosts that have apparel for men and for women:
- World Series of Poker (WSOP): If you aren’t physically at the World Series, it can be hard to know if you are buying authentic goods. The WSOP’s website doesn’t sell them directly to the public. To buy World Series of Poker shirts, you can head to Vegas during the Main Event or buy from suppliers online. Surprisingly, even Walmart appears to sell official WSOP shirts. There’s a large price range and many counterfeit custom designs online, so be wary.
- World Poker Tour (WPT): The online shop of the WPT has several classic and clean designs. Of course, they also sell the Happy WPT Chip shirts, which have a CupHead art style. You can expect to pay about $25 for simpler designs, and $50 for more stylized WPT shirts.
- Triton: As in other areas, Triton’s apparel and lifestyle shop surpasses expectations. You won’t find any funny jokes or one-liners here. If you’ve seen the events in Jeju or London, the hoodies and shirts might have already caught your eye. Triton definitely makes some of the most fashionable poker clothing you can buy. Soft knit t-shirts start at about $50, but look to be well-made.
- GGPoker: The world's largest poker brand has a modest lineup of shirts and other apparel, including a GGPoker x WSOP tee (shown below). The options aren’t too colorful, but the designs are clean and prices are reasonable, even as low as $18 for cotton shirts. That’s before shipping costs, which could be costly.
- PokerStars: This brand used to have two stores – one for the site’s currency, StarsCoins, and the second for real money on the website. Then, Stars changed their loyalty system a bit and now all of their merch is available online. The shirts and other apparel range from old-school to clean and simple (they also sell a great beanie). The most expensive shirt is $35, not including shipping.
- PokerGo: This brand isn’t a poker site, but the content company still has a shop stocked with merch. Besides classic designs, they also offer a couple of shirts with funny jokes that offer one-time laughs. For men and for women, shirts start at $25, while hoodies can go up to $100.
Of course, brand ambassadors for poker rooms get the best quality and selection. Still, many companies still sell awesome merch, like Triton, WPT, or GG.
Remember to be cautious if you’re looking around online for poker shirts. If you head to the wrong site, you might accidentally pay for counterfeit custom designs.
