If you wear another team's t-shirt you are representing their team, ...

This just makes me want to scream, "No! No! No!", in the most gracious and professional manner I can muster.
But I won't. 
I understand that this is conventional wisdom, and that it is often repeated by many as if it were a fundamental law of the universe, like F = MA, but ... let me ask, "What makes it true?".
If you said many people might mistakenly decide that you, or any other individual in a team shirt, are always an authorized representive of an entire team; and that those people need to be reminded to avoid making that mistake, I would agree.
But a claim that you (or any random member of the team) actually represent an entire team, or other organization, simply because you have one of their old shirts on ... Nope, I don't buy it.
Can someone convince me?
