Bubby Brister and John Friez? For something like that I could see wearing them for comedic purposes. I can almost guarantee you wouldn't see any Friez jerseys at a Seahawks game so you would be unique. I woudn't make those your primary jerseys but you would get some laughs and comments if you wore them to a game.

What about funny/ironic value of an XFL jersey?

I didn't see any "He Hate Me" jerseys for sale.

I should clarify that there are rare exceptions where it is ok to wear a kicker's jersey, but to say that you should by a kicker's jersey when you see one is insane.
I have Colts season tickets and my friends and I try to see who can find the most obscure jersey. We have seperate categories for current and formed players. It is a good way to pass some time during TV timeouts. It is pretty easy to find someone wearing a Vanderjagt jersey, a Hunter Smith jersey has yet to be seen.

The reason I say to buy a kickers jersey when you see one is you will very, very rarely see one for sale. In my years of selling jerseys I have only seen 3 kickers jerseys (Vinitari, Vanderjagt, and Akers) for sale and those were in very limited quantities. If a kicker jersey is available for your team it is probably because you have a top notch kicker. I am not saying you should go out and customize a jersey to get Jay Feeley's or Shayne Graham's name on them but if you have a great kicker on your team and you see that jersey for sale you should snap it up.

See many Jeff George jerseys? I'm guessing no. It's the only Colts one I have.

2 out of 3 ain't bad. Neil Rackers should have his own jersey.

I don't see a problem doing it in the summer if it is a funny older jersey. Like being from around Detroit, I have an old blue Grant Hill - Pistons jersey that i wear from time to time, or an old Barry Sanders jersey when i play pickup football sometimes, just cuz it is funny to still be wearing it.

EDIT: this being said, I would never buy or wear a new jersey today.
