...consists of a collared maroon/white polo shirt with the logo on it. No ties or sportcoats. No jerseys or T-shirts.
Unless, of course, you are Roy F'ing McClain. Then you can only wear a #12 jersey for the rest of your life.

I've always thought that wearing jerseys, much like getting autographs, were to be done primarily out of idolizing athletes. When you wear a jersey, the way I see it, it's almost like you're saying you want to be exactly like that player. Why else would you be wearing his jersey?
I've always put the cut off at somewhere between the ages of 12 and 14 as to when players should no longer be idolized. So essentially, I've always thought jerseys looked stupid on anyone high school age or older.
Just my opinion though. If you are going to have to wear it, as you probably will have to, considering your wife bought it for you, just be sure you only wear it to a game, or maybe laying around the house. If you go out shopping with your MSU game jersey on, it looks even worse.

From the anonymity of a message board I will say that you are free to make yourself look like a complete dick in a game jersey, so as to not piss off your bride.
To your face, I would say nothing, since I'm a passive-aggressive chicken **** who's afraid that you might kick my ***.
Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead in a f'n jersey.

And I have worn that to baseball games.
I come from the Pro side of things in that I have Jets jerseys and will wear those on gameday. Coming from NY, I was a Pro sport fan long before I followed College Sports. I don't do things to appease my wife. I just remembered some negative comentary a few years back about this and wondering how the wind blows now.
I do agree you should NOT get a player's name, and DEFINITELY NOT your name on a College jersey unless you are the players mother.

I wouldn't wear it to the game or out anywhere.
However, when we play road games and you are watching from the comfort of your own home with no one else but your wife, put it on and just tell her that you don't wear it to home games because of superstition. That way, you wear the jersey, your wife is happy and you don't look like a douche at sporting events.

I work with a fair amount of northern and midwesterners. The topic of jersey's came up at lunch the other day and I opined that a grown man should never be caught dead in one. Needless to say, they looked at me as if I had just slapped one of their mothers. The majority of these guys were Ohio State fans who, coincidently, wear their jersey's to work on fridays.
I've been to games @ Ohio State and you don't see anything other than jerseys. In my opinion is just looked crappy, and that we southerners were well above that.
But the key to all this is that your wife bought it for you. I would get it framed and put it up in your office/study/MSU room/wherever so that its on display, just not on your body at an athletic event.

like I tell my son. Stop worrying about what other people think. Wear the jersey, appease the wife, and no one will say a word to you. The majority of people at the game don't give a crap. The only time I've really heard anything negative about jerseys was on the internet. Apparently, there's a conspiracy concerning nerds trying to get football fans to stop wearing football jerseys to decrease money coming in. It's the first step to bring down college athletics.
Earlier this board had all sorts of comments and design contests about the design of the uniform. Commentary on white helmets and baseball pajamas abound. Thought I was reading Vogue or some other fashion magazine.
BUT, If your not going to wear it, why give a **** about it?

Screw what everyone around you think (as in what's in, what's out, etc.). Wearing it to appease the wife is to keep her feelings from being hurt and costing you time having to deal with hurt feelings which leads to bitchiness, which could lead to no sex for a while. You must not be married or you would know that.
The last time I went to a game in Gainesville which happened to be the forgettable 2001 game, I was way overdressed in my khakis, buttondown and cap. 3/4 of the UF fans were in shorts, flipflops and jerseys. Not just students. FSU and UM are the same. I would consider Gainesville and Tallahassee to be in the south but obviously not Miami.
