This discussion has made me think of my husband.

There was a king of the mountain's jersey on special in a shop about a year ago and I was going to buy it for him as a treat as he has a thing for mountains....

He talked me out of it in the same way that if you saw someone with a yellow jersey or a king of the mountains top, every roadie worth their salt would be trying to overtake you and he said he couldn't bear the disappointment when they all did.

But, just a team jersey would be ok. When I used to go to the football (soccer) in the UK, everyone would wear their team's shirt to the game and despite my husband's dreams, he never got picked for his lifelong team (the mighty Middlesbrough FC) when they were one short, so I can imagine the same would work with cycling.
