I'll wear a footy jumper to a game if it's Freo playing. I have an old anchor that I've basically worn to every game I've seen them play, feels like I might as well keep doing it until I'm too old to.
I wouldn't buy a jumper now though; wearing the newest one past the age of about 15 feels a bit lame. There's no age for a jumper, just make sure there's a tee underneath. Generally a vibe. Once your guts gets too big it's probably time to retire it. I have a good early 2000s Adidas Freo jacket and if I was to grow out of my old one, I'd wear stuff like that to games.
Don't mind the old beanie in winter though, can be a good look. Wouldn't wear a Freo one in Perth but interstate/smaller club ones work a bit in Melbs. Generally works as an okay conversation starter in pubs or at uni.
I like just buying soccer strips, have a good collection, generally get one when I'm in a city I really like or it's cheap, or I've always wanted to add that club or side to my collection. I think if you're of a certain look it's okay but being an azn bro with Yeezys it probably doesn't work wearing a Ronaldo 7 strip you saw on FIFA. I like a retro shirt in summer, even though I really prefer wearing cotton and especially in the heat.
I think it's sort of one of those things, sort of about it being incongruous. If you're skinny and of a certain persuasion it's a bit unexpected. If it's retro or something it's got that factor. If you're doing sports science and wearing thongs and running shorts to a lecture, wearing an Eagles jumper is probably a good way to guarantee you look like a knob. If you constantly wear an item of sports merch it might be the same thing. Guess it's about balance.
