I wear a generic Bianchi Jersey and Bib(no sponsors or team insignia, just the manufacturer). I do have an older Lotto Belisol jersey from '12 but only wear it on training rides.

I don't have any team jersey but I have thought about getting this one. I doubt that people are going to think that I am Robert Millar.

I wouldn't wear pro kit normally - I only have my club kit and some generic jerseys from Sportsful, Castelli, Santini, Mavic, Gore, Etxeondo and the like, but I saw this offer today and thought, why the hell not!?
BMC SS Jersey, Bibs and Shoe Bag for 45EUR!
I haven't actually ordered this, but it is tempting, no matter what the rules say ...

To wear a complete kit? Yeah...not my bag...too "matchy" for me.
I have a couple modern pro jerseys (Saxo, Omega/QuickStep)...I'll wear them from time to time, I enjoy it. I don't have a complete kit...but there's really no difference. I have a 1985 replica Royals World Series jersey too...and multiple Chicago Bears jerseys...I'm a fan I guess.
I agree with others, wear what you want. I strongly doubt many will mistake the common mortal for a real team rider simply because he is sporting a pro team kit.
