Would say an older guy wearing a throwback jersey from his childhood days is fine. One of my dads loves to rock a Largent jersey for Seahawks games. However, someone like me showing up with receiver gloves and a DK Metcalf jersey is a little gay.
F.O. Yella, I proudly rock my jersey and cargo shorts to the games
My rules for adults wearing jerseys
The Jersey must be one of the teams playing.
It is OK to wear a jersey from a team that has moved to another city. Like wearing a Hartford Whaler jersey to a Carolina Hurricanes game.
Don’t put some hokey name on it or have a #69 jersey with the name MadDog on the back.
Do not wear a college jersey to a pro game. Example. Do not wear a Texas #20 Earl Campbell jersey to a Tennessee Titans/New Orleans Saints game.
Can we take a moment to appreciate we have someone in our presence who can tell us all about Pup’s golden flowing locks based on first hand, real world experience?
There is one exception I will make to the adults wearing jerseys, which is a retro Kemp or Payton Sonics jersey in the summer sun while bbq'ing in a private backyard so that only friends or family can see you.
This is not a true story, but the only justification I can come up with to explain why, at some point in the future, I might pull the trigger on the Kemp jersey.

A lot depends on the sport IMO
Hockey culture is to wear a "sweater" to the game … and let's be honest most "sweaters" are awesome from a design standpoint. Agree with the prior comments that the "sweater" you wear should be tied to a team actually playing in the game and should be tied to a player instead of some stupid saying … I'm not crazy about using your own last name per se but I'll allow it
For other sports it's more hit/miss to me as I don't feel like it's quite the same as it is for hockey
In most instances, wearing any jersey outside of going to a game or for a unique situation (i.e. wearing a football jersey to a fantasy football draft) is not a great look
I've noticed during crisp, or 100 degree, fall Sundays, the employees at Safeway and I think Target have the option to wear their favorite NFL jersey. In fact, I think it's encouraged. It's pretty cringe, especially when 60 year old, overweight Becky has one on. I do wear a Seahawk hat at times, so one of them started chatting me up about Rusty Wilson during last offseason. It took me a minute before I remembered he was traded to the Stealers (lol!). The NFL can't get much more cringe at this point.

That is indeed one of the hottest looks ever created.
I tried to get MrsSnow to cosplay wearing her college hoops jersey for me. I was shot down in flames.
The college hoops Roy era shorts are a must purchase.

Too many exceptions! Found the 12th man in our midst.
too bad she wasn’t Korean.
I feel like this portion of the thread could now be moved to the WAM.
I would allow for the lil pisses to wear jerseys while they’re in college but only when attending games.

@steelheader2 what was @puppylove_sugarsteel 's stance on grown ups wearing jerseys?
and the convenience of them to be numbered 40 and 20 was so considerate for local super sonic fans that happened to also be chronic dealers.
Just found this deep in the bowels of the HcH archives

My money is on that Jack Doog, Pup, being a jersey wearer. I can picture the 5'11" pup, with flowing blonde locks, wearing a Tui jersey.
