Re team kits - in the end it comes down to what you like and not what others do.
I wouldn't personally wear a team kit from a team I didn't belong to - but I also wouldn't wear a baseball/basketball/football/soccer jersey with some big star's name on it either. Cyclists are only doing the same thing as other sports fans (well, except perhaps that they actually participate in their sport of choice, unlike most other sports fan folks who wear their "team kits" in the stands or on the couch....) - and if you aren't going to laugh at them, don't bug the cyclists....
otoh... if you show up to an actual race with a full on pro kit.... may as well tattoo newbie on your forehead (its actually against the USACycling rules to wear the kit of a team you don't ride for, but this is rarely if ever enforced, at least for beginners)
