At what age are you to old

To a game?
Depends on the sport, and how it looks, IMHO. Football jerseys or hockey jerseys look much better than baseball or basketball jerseys, IMHO.
Get old enough and you are too old to care what others think. Wear what you want.
I hit 40 way back and thought I looked stupid in one. Plus they had shrunk the sizes!
Started wearing polo style school logo stuff. Although a school sweatshirt works great for hockey games up here.
But wear what you want. I know men around my age, seniors, who wear one and they look fine. It's a hoot.

For me, I always seem to be my happiest in a long-sleeved flannel shirt, no logos, just soft cotton comfort, ready for me to wrestle Grizzly bear.
I have never owned or worn a jersey outside of game days where I was playing.
you seem like someone who was born in the deep woods, and have progressively moved deeper into the woods
You should probably put on some pants before you weigh in.
If wearing another man's name on your shirt=cuckoldry.
Imagine taking your girlfriend or wife to a ballgame while branded with another dude's name and screaming for that dude in a highly unbecoming way. Guarantee that guy is losing his girl.
Jerseys with players names should only be worn if the player is your son or dad.

I've never been told to wear one to a game. I started going to IU games at Assembly Hall regularly in 98 with a buddy of mine. We would wear IU shirts or sweat shirts.
that does not come as great surprise, going to assume you probably had a uniform and played the tuba
I hung on to those for years in th closet. Always thought they might make sense for morning winter golf in FL. After about 9 years of collecting dust they went bye bye. I assume they were sold by Goodwill as an early 2000's casual Friday Halloween costume.
I’m 41 and The only jerseys I wear are those of retired legendary players. I’ve made the mistake before of buying a players jersey and they either quit too early(Luck), get the injury curse, or get traded right after I buy it! Never again will I make that mistake! I’ ll wear my Peyton Manning jersey that I got right when he was drafted till it starts disintegrating! Reggie Miller is another I’d proudly wear still. Bob Sanders got too injured after I bought his, Jermaine O’neal, Marshall Faulk got traded right after I got his. I still have an Edgerrin James and Reggie Wayne Jerseys. It’s also nice that IU basketball jerseys don’t have names on the back, so I can rep whatever number.
Those you definitely age out of - for some too late with the damage already done.

At 62 I use to wear NFL & MLB jerseys to work on Casual Friday. Had many younger co-workers offering me money to buy the ones I was wearing. Soon retired after that and all my jerseys have sat in my closet since. I also have old baseball jerseys. I and a friend would buy the IU tight football jerseys at the IU Surplus store ... but you can barely get them on and if you do, you can't get them off. I have a Ramsey #12 IU jersey. (came with no name on back)

Before the NFL and MLB shut them down, we had a jersey source in China. Came with the official holograms, serialized and sitting next to a Reds jersey I bought at the stadium ... looked identical. Cost was $25 and express shipping was included. Those damn jersey would be in my mailbox in Bloomfield Indiana with 4-6 days from China !!! 😄
I'd say the rule is that you can always wear a jersey if the player represented is from your era. If you are 70 and you want to wear a Jim Brown jersey, go for it.
What I don't like seeing are 55 year olds wearing Anthony Richardson jerseys. Wear your Billy Brooks or don't wear one.

I don't think it's a matter of age, but whether the Jersey fits. Nothing worse than a balding guy over 50 trying to wear a Jersey that fit Him in his 20's and is now 3 sizes too small and 2 sizes too short. and that's the guy Who always has the fashion sense to pair the jersey with a pair of form fitting shorts He had to shoe horn into, Orthopedic Socks, and Shoes with Ortho Inserts.
