Michael van Gerwen had darts fans in stitches with his latest "get the badge in" effort at the PDC celebration.
Mighty Mike is a regular wearer of Stone Island clothing when he's not in his green Oche clobber and has shown on numerous occasions in the past he knows all about the trend that has become synonymous with the Italian fashion brand.
Buying a new car, entering arenas, and even at Cambridge University – you name it, and he's probably got the badge in there. It was no different as he joined the other 10 world champions from the last 30 years on Monday (November 27).

The PDC uploaded a picture of them all together on stage, with Van Gerwen sporting a black Stoney sweatshirt, and like clockwork, getting the badge in. "Operation get the badge in perfectly executed from MVG," hailed one fan.
Another commented: "MVG knows what he is doing getting that badge in." And a third joked: "Night with the champions at seven, Millwall away at eight. Only one MVG."
While the unofficially official get the badge in account gave him a rave review. They wrote: "MvG, the three-time champ, might feel hard done by at not being given a trophy to hold.

"He’s still managed to make himself the centre of attention. Finding himself in a tricky situation in the middle of the line, expert #badgein technique ensures everyone knows he’s the main man. My favourite for the tournament. A 9 (darter)/10."
Van Gerwen is second in the bookies' odds to add a fourth world title to his resume at Ally Pally in the next few weeks. He would've had more had it not been for the dominance of Phil Taylor in his early career.
