Sambo jacket (Sambovka): distinctive jacket with belt loops + shoulder cinches — red or blue per competitor; Sambo shorts: matching jacket color; Sambo wrestling shoes (Sambovki): mandatory — soft, ankle-supportive
Why people argue about this
People often assume that wearing a Sambovka jacket is optional for men, forgetting about the mandatory requirement of matching shorts and wrestling shoes. The complexity lies in understanding all these uniform details, leading to misunderstandings about what constitutes proper attire.
