Your name on Yeovil jersey is perfectly ok as you’re probably better than half the team.
I also had a Phantoms hockey jersey with my name on it, because I shared that name with a player and it was useful if I got drunk enough to forget who I was.
I have that same issue with my Jarkko Ruutu Senators jersey. I think I’m gonna keep wearing it. Or go back to my old “no-name” jersey.
If pressed to choose one from a real team, I’d have to get a Joe Montana jersey.
I wanted to get a Mario Lemieux sweater a couple of years ago, but I couldn’t find a site selling an authentic one in black, rather than the ugly-ass yellow ones.
I have to admit, despite my already-professed disdain for personalized jerseys, that I got a kick out of the Oakland A’s fan wearing an authentic A’s jersey with the name “PTBNL” on the back.
All my hockey jerseys are blank, well except for a few autographs. I see a lot of retro jerseys around the arena, some that are probably 50+ years old. Those are cool. The ones that really annoy me are the teenagers wearing jerseys with “Mrs. so-and-so” on the back.
Get the Ronde Barber jersey. It’s fine to have the jersey of a retired player if he played on your team for a decade or more.
If we’re going for awesome geek sports wear, I’m all over this.
It doesn’t have a name on the back, but I do own a Klingon baseball jersey. Also very sweet! 
Another vote for seriously, seriously lame. Wearing another dude’s shirt is kinda lame when you think about it, but that’s a time honored tradition so it gets a pass. Getting your own name on a jersey just seems to me to be sad on the level of a mid-life crisis.
And the choosing of the jersey is important. Glad to see you put some thought into it. Have to find that balance between the superstars (mindless lemming) and the 3rd string long snapper (pretentious hipster douche).
I 100% agree with you. A grown man should not be wearing a jersey with a player’s name on it. It makes you look like either a 12 year old aspiring to be like your hero (who at your age will likely be younger than you) or like some sports bar bimbo who wants to sleep with the player in question. (And yes, I’m also talking to you every Yankee’s fan whose girlfriend wears a ‘Jeter’ jersey).
On reflection, this is probably what I’ll do. Apart from anything else, it means I can get it a hell of a lot cheaper since Barber’s is one of the jerseys which has always been generally available.
Speaking as 100% non-sports fan, I’m surprised by the responses to this thread. Getting a jersey with your own name on it makes a certain amount of sense. Sports fans tend to identify very strongly with sports teams, referring to them as “their” team, and such. Well, if it’s “your” team, it seems fitting that you’d get your own jersey.
Wearing a jersey with someone else’s name on it strikes me as a sort of jock cosplay. You’re literally dressing up as your favorite player, much as this guy is dressing up as his favorite Sailor Scout. I wouldn’t consider the sports jersey “lame,” per se, but I also think big fat hairy dudes dressed as tiny cartoon Japanese girls are fucking awesome, so obviously my perspective is more than a little atypical.
Now imagine that hairy dude dressing up as a Sailor Scout (this is a thing, right? I really don’t know), but telling everyone he meets how he’s really dressed up as the Sailor Scout he created (all with this thrilling backstory he’s going to tell you about!). That’s what wearing a team jersey with your own name is like. It’s the sports equivalent of the dude who writes himself into his own anime Star Trek fanfic.
Wearing a jersey with a player name isn’t exactly dressing as that player, or at least no more so than wearing the team jersey in the first place is dressing as a member of the team–which is to say, it kind of depends on how you carry it. I do think that a particularly clever back-of-jersey name can be cooler than either a real player name or one’s own name. “PTBNL” on the A’s jersey is pretty great.
