Then if the cheap and expensive perform similarly, it is just a matter of what you like and can afford.
Yes, it's a combination of the two.
More expensive jerseys means lesser number of jerseys, and hence the need to wash them more often. So, wearing them more often and washing them more often will wear them out faster as compared to having a larger number of jerseys in stock.
