Here is the problem I have with this. Nowadays, a lot of these kids are fans of the players first and the teams second. Seeing their favorite player wear the competition's gear will not only drive up sales of the competitor's fan merchandise, but might also lead into the fandom of the competitors.
That's a whole other problem/topic in its own right. That being a fan of individual players rather then actual teams but everything you said is spot on.
