The only full kit that I have is for the team I'm actually on. Bibs/jersey/knee/arm warmers for training, and skinsuit for race days. I'll wear the jersey with plain black shorts for commutes and non-team training rides, but not the bibs with any other jerseys.
My other jerseys are mostly Tour de Cure commemoratives, or my randonneuring woolies (short and long sleeve for both RUSA and SiR clubs), with just a couple of non club/team ones: Team Bio-Rad (my previous employer's club team whom I rode for), PDM Chrome Tapes (an 80s replica of the pro team, I've owned it since the 80s) and a Cinzano wool short sleeve 70s team replica.
