I'm in my 40s and still wear united tops (10+ year old kits) when I am playing sports, usually tennis or when I kick a football about with my teenage son.
I'm asking this question again after seeing our third kit for this season. I haven't bought a jersey since I was about 16, I'm 29 now. I actually think that that particular kit probably circumvents this question on account of its retro-ness and general fashionable aesthetic. Agreed?
Agreed.
If it helps, I’m 35 and haven’t bought/worn one since I was 19, yet I kind of feel the same about the white one.I'm asking this question again after seeing our third kit for this season.

Perfect attire for a bit of shopping
i wear the full kit on every matchday, paired with whatever the lads are wearing for the game. i like to think they know this and it spurs them on to try harder.
i make the wife and kids clap me into the living room and hour before kick-off and watch as i do a couple of shuttle runs between the sofas to warm up. the wife and kids are allowed on their phones during this bit, and they’re able to go to the concourse (kitchen) and get something to eat or drink. 5 minutes before kick off they’re expected back in the living room to clap me into my chair.
once the match starts, they have to watch me and cheer every time i drink my beer or eat a scratching. they’re only allowed to go to the toilet at half time, or the concourse for food, but not both.
towards the 70th minute, one of them will put on a hi-vis jacket and throw out one of the other ones. i leave it up to them to decide which.
at full time they clap me off to the shitter, to allow me to painfully deposit the 500g worth of scratchings i ate during the last 2 hours. i make them stay in the living room for a further 20 minutes afterwards, just in case i want to do a warm down or a lap of honour. after that, the day is their own.
This is actually the last shirt I bought, in 1997 or 1998 i think.Perfect attire for a bit of shopping
This. Stopped buying replicas in my 20’s but started buying them last year again. I wear them when I either go watch the match with friends or after I’ve showered after a game of football etc. I see absolutely no issue with anyone wearing them, no matter the age.I stopped buying them for myself when I was around 22-23. But wear them at whatever age you want, who gives a feck what other people think.
Almost every adult who leaves the house in clothing.Wear whatever you want at whatever age you want. Who gives a shit what others think.
I dont particularly like being a walking advertisement. The 3 stripes are almost a pattern and i can get on board with but the signature and logo looks tacky.What is the thoughts on footballer ranges of clothing? I think this top is class but wearing a "JB" Jude Bellingham top makes me iffy about wearing it.
