Don't think you're ever too old for a kit, though I'm at an age where I would no longer get names printed on the back.
There is a progression with kits as there is with everything in life.
*You go from teenager/early 20s admirer of a certain player and get his name printed on the back (usually your favorite player from playing FIFA), and it's almost like a conversation starter for people your age.
*Then you go to where I am now, late 20s, where you don't really wear the kit but rather you display it on the wall because you're too poor, tasteless, and indifferent to buy a mature wall decoration (is that what they're called? wall decorations?).
*Then you go to the stage of not buying any kits because you've outgrown both of the previous stages (in both mentality and belly size) and are trying to portray yourself as a proper adult so you wear khakis, collared shirts, and hang decorations on the wall to demonstrate your maturity.... stupid things like a black and white photo of a tree or a photo of your loved ones.
*Finally, as is the case in life, you return full circle and begin buying kits with print on the back. But at this stage you're old and grumpy so written on the back is your medication schedule or your address/phone# in case you get lost or just obscenity laced statements about younger generations.
In a way, it's beautiful.
