And Now, 2011′s Ridiculous Poker-Clothing Company…

Sometimes the poker world is soooooooo predictable. Every year or two, like clockwork, some company thinks they’re going to set the world on fire by starting up a new clothing line of gaudy, uber-douche-y poker gear. 2011′s entry in the bad-poker-clothing arena? Welcome to Bustout Poker, which you can visit by clicking here. Here’s a peek from their web site:

From the company’s “Bustout Babes” to its Team Bustout featuring pros such as Matt Stout and Chad Brown, it’s something we’ve seen before… many times in fact. Go ahead and surf the site, but if you’re familiar with poker-clothing offerings and you feel a strong sense of deja vu, don’t say you haven’t been warned. With apologies to such folks as Philippe Rouas and his failed Poker Battle clothing concept in 2009 — hi, Philippe! — a whole lot of people have tried this and it never, ever seems to work. One could say the same thing about Tom “DonkeyBomber” Schneider and his wearing of the ultra-garish Loudmouth Poker gear; you gotta the only way he’s wearing that stuff is because he’s been paid to do so.

But it just goes on and on and on with bad poker clothes, doesn’t it? Maybe it’s all another Bane of Hellmuth thing, since Phil’s Poker Brat Clothing Co. has been trying to sell shit like the horrid poker skater T (below) since 2006.

The market for apparel like this must be in the hundreds of people, in terms of counting those who actually want to show up wearing gaudy, douchey gear to the poker table. I mean, not everyone can be Noah Boeken (and I guess even fewer people would want to). Click here to see a gallery full of Boeken photos, all of which show him wearing ridiculous clothing.

Truth is, most people want to play poker, and dressing like the outside panel of a carnival funhouse isn’t part of most poker players’ job descriptions. And, yet, that hasn’t stopped innumerable folks from investing hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars into silly clothing designs that most people just won’t wear. Wearing stuff like this screams to the poker table, “Hey, I have no taste and I like to spend too much money on bad clothing!”
