Ronnie O’Sullivan ends ‘baby-poo’ debate as snooker icon reveals what colour his shirt really was for Snotgate showdown

SNOOKER star Ronnie O’Sullivan has finally settled a debate about the colour of his Tour Championship shirt.

The Rocket ditched his typical black-on-black attire in favour of a bizarre green-brown “baby poo” shirt at Manchester Central on Wednesday.

Fans were left baffled as a result, with some questioning what colour the shirt actually was.

After beating Ali Carter in the quarter-finals, O’Sullivan explained the unusual reason behind his wardrobe change.

He said: “Where we put all these stickers and badges on different shirts at different tournaments, I have literally ruined every black shirt I have got. This is the only one I have left in the wardrobe.

“I thought I would give this one a good seeing to – this will be knackered by the end of the season I suppose.”

O’Sullivan later took to social media to put an end to the colour debate, writing: “Mustard is the new black.”

The 48-year-old recently admitted that he has not enjoyed the last two years on the snooker circuit due to the pressure he puts on himself.

He said: “I’ve just decided I’m going to change my thinking and forget about trying to fathom my game out.

“If I change my thinking I can accept whatever is thrown at me and take whatever.

“It’s been a hard year, drove myself pretty much insane really. It’s just got to me.

“I decided to speak to Steve Peters [sports psychologist] and said I wasn’t happy. I had to go back to basics and get my head right. Deal with it because doing it the other way round isn’t working.

“I’ve got to accept that’s life. You can’t be perfect all the time and trying to be perfect all the time is not ideal. Just getting my head around it is the only option I have left.

“I’ve driven myself mad for the last two years and not enjoyed any of it.”
