I will let Mets jerseys slide only because it's nice to support the less fortunate.

My sentiments exactly. The most important thing for every baseball season is that the red menace is thwarted. If the Yankees win too, that's nice.

As for the OP, there are two venues where adults can proudly wear their team colors: the ballpark and the little league field. Everywhere else it just looks sad. Not to mention that there is no clothing product so uniquely unsuited to the middle aged male physique as a team jersey. And no, the vertical pinstriping is not slimming in that case.

As for the autographs issue, the list of people I'd ask for one is small but has nothing to do with age, just accomplishments. The last person I asked for a signature was Eric Idle; before that, Ken Norton. With most celebs I would probably ask to take a photo instead.

As far as being unsuited for middle-age male physique, try wearing an NFL official game jersey in your size. They are made to hug the non-existent 6-pack.
