Hasn't happened yet, and as mentioned, I've still got jerseys from 2 decades ago in decent condition. I wore my oldest one last autumn just because I hadn't worn it in a couple years ... it's probably retro now

but it fit and was still in great condition. It, and two others I bought a year after it, are actually quite comfy so I'll probably bring them back into the rotation again.
With 40+ jerseys to choose from, some kind of drop out of the rotation now and then. But maybe that's why mine have lasted as long as they have.
