Higgins, 49, joined the likes of Ally McCoist and Darren Fletcher on TNT Sports.
However, he stood out for his choice of outfit compared to his fellow pundits.
Higgins opted to wear a grey Stone Island jacket during his time on the panel, along with a pair of Adidas trainers.
The garment caught the eye of snooker fans who were quick to react on social media.
One fan joked: “The Wizard has got snooker punditry at 7 and Millwall away at 8.”
A second posted: “Fantastic effort from John Higgins. Get the badge in.”
A third added: “John Higgins badge IN.”
Some snooker fans, though, were split by the inclusion of Fletcher and McCoist on the commentary team.

The two are usually working together to cover football and, more specifically, the Champions League on TNT Sports.
One fan fumed: “Why are Ally McCoist and Darren Fletcher doing snooker commentary?! Are there no snooker players that can do it?”

A second complained: “Jesus Christ, Ally McCoist is doing the snooker now as well.”
A third added: “TNT sports having Ally McCoist and that Darren Fletcher hosting the snooker is like having Willy Thorne and Steve Davis hosting Match of the Day.”
While another hailed: “Can we have Ally McCoist commentate on every sport? It’s been terrific viewing.”
One suggested: “Don’t watch it on TNT if you don’t like it.”
McCoist made his bow at the Crucible this week and has admitted he prefers commentating on snooker to football.
He told SunSport: “That’s one of the things I’m looking forward to!
“I’ve got to tell you, I just want to comment on a sporting event with no VAR. I’ll be ecstatic with that.”
He and Fletcher have been added to the broadcaster’s programming for the tournament as a non-serious “alternative” commentary.
Meanwhile, Higgins made it a winning start to the World Snooker Championship after beating Joe O’Connor.
He broke down in tears live on the BBC after the epic tussle following a situation with his family.
