Growing up I used to love collecting different shirts from other European clubs, sports direct used to stock some lovely random shirts. I would however never buy another English team’s shirt.But you wouldn't have bought yourself a West Ham kit with his name on the back when Wilshere moved there, nor a Real Sociedad shirt when Silva moved there.
I kinda get it with kids, as it becomes the equivalent of wearing a trendy brand at school, but it's when I see adults wearing Messi kits (first PSG, now Miami) with his name on the back that makes me shake my head.
As for adults wearing shirts with Messi on the back etc then each to their own but I do think shirts with a player’s name on the back should be more for a child. I might buy an Oxford shirt because I like to collect them all but I would never get a players name on the back unless it was buying a match worn shirt.
