I think that my vote would still be yes, I would wear it, but I would feel like an idiot I think. I have given up on finding a flashy jersey that is not flashy, if that makes any sense.
EDIT: I found this on eBay as well, first time I have ever seen one of these. I LIKE IT!

That looks like one of the images from a current e-bay auction for 5 jerseys from the 1989 Tour de France. That is indeed a combined jersey - which, along with the red jersey, was no more after that year's tour.

Combo jersey. Yeah it's cool but I'm not sure I would wear it.
Same for me as not wearing maillot Jaune or Maglia Rosa.
I would however wear this one (I have and I've got the matching bike).

You Know!? For Kids!
Looks like someone got into the Tour de France trash can and made a jersey out of remnants.

If I earned it in the Tour, I would wear it. Otherwise, race winner jerseys aren't my style.
This jersey was awarded to the Tour de France racer with the highest combined score in the GC, mountain, and sprint competitions.

Well I wouldn't wear it just because I think it's pretty ugly. But I wouldn't care if you wore it. Seriously though that is one fugly jersey.

One could pass as their own individual group ride in that thing. I like it.

That thing is awesomely obnoxius. I really don't think that people could possibly see you as being a lame poser, in contrast to riding around with a Team Discovery maillot jeune or World Championship jersey. If anything, it's a nod to an era long past...an era with absolutely dismal taste in color schemes and composition. I can't tell if it's so cool it hurts, or if it just hurts my eyes. It'll definitely be a unique sight on the roads, and that's a fact.

That is exactly what I was thinking!
