50-50 about a sports jacket feature (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lapel

'jacket feature' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'50-50 about a sports' is the wordplay.
'50' becomes 'l' (Roman numeral).
'50' becomes 'l' (Roman numeral).
'about' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'sports' becomes 'pe' (Physical Education).
'a'+'pe'='ape'
'l' after 'ape' is 'apel'.
'l'+'apel'='LAPEL'

(Other definitions for lapel that I've seen before include "Lower extension of collar on jacket or coat" , "top of coat" , "Extended part of a collar" , "Folded-back part of coat" , "Jacket fold" .)
