I have oddly complicated feelings about how jerseys should be worn, but don't have any particular objections to them actually being worn in general. I like to see accurate jerseys, and get annoyed (and yes, it's completely my hangup) seeing a Yankees jersey with a name on the back. My wife bought me a Yankees home jersey with the right number on it (31, I'm a big Dave Winfield, Hensley Meulens and Ichiro fan), but it has Winfield's name on the back. I don't think she had it customized that way, I think she just found a good deal on it, so she got it. When I saw it, she even guessed my reaction as being mixed, and exactly why it was mixed. I'll be taking a seam ripper to those letters sometime in the near future.

I also don't like seeing jerseys customized for players, but in the wrong historical context. I can't stand seeing a mid-1990s Padres orange/blue pinstripe jersey with Winfield, Fingers or Smith on the back because the players never wore that particular version of the Padres jersey.

However, I have no problem with a hugely customized jersey with all kinds of crap stitched on to it (like lots of Japanese fans do with the jerseys they wear to games). If you're not going to be faithful to a particular jersey/player combination, then customize the crap out of it.
