Jennings suggested that an adult should not wear their club's shirt to matches, and likened the practice to 'fancy dress".
Jennings later took to X to double down on his comments, implying that wearing a kit could be a sign of being a fake fan.
He said: "I'm all for a scarf or a precisely placed pin-badge.
"But if you're over 15 and you're wearing a club shirt it's quite often the biggest tell-[tale] sign that you actually have no idea who your club are or what they represent."

She pushed back on his comments by stating her intention to don Chelsea's new kit at Stamford Bridge when the Blues host Crystal Palace for their first game of the season.
"I never really wear shirts anymore but love having them and best believe for our first game of the season vs Palace, I will absolutely be wearing a World Champions 25 shirt.
"Will be the first and last time I wear it but it has to be done."

Director Harvey focuses on Wrexham AFC transfer 'model'
The Reds have enjoyed a meteoric rise over recent seasons, with back-to-back-to-back promotions taking Phil Parkinson's side from the National League all the way up to the Championship. Now just one step below the top flight, Wrexham fans can really dream about seeing their team play in the Premier League. Speaking on his FozCast programme, ex-Reds' keeper Ben Foster touched on this rise through the divisions and Wrexham soon having to think about the 'eye-watering' nature and potential 'jeopardy' of Premier League transfers. Club director Harvey said: 'I think we're there now, in truth. 'I don't think we have to wait for the Premier League. Our model's always been we wanted to sign players that were at least used to playing one division higher than that we were playing in. 'Now, if we're going to do that now, we're signing players who are Premier League quality. They want Premier League wages now. 'We've actually probably sub-divided the Championship into top end and bottom end, and even if you're looking at signing players from the top end of the Championship to come and help you on your journey, they're earning fortunes more. 'Our wage bill now, a month, will be more than we paid for the whole time we were in the National League, probably. 'Now, obviously, income's gone up as well, so it's not just a one-way street. 'But, the actual real mechanic is fascinating.' It's been a busy summer already for Wrexham, ahead of sampling action in the second tier for the first time in more than four decades. Midfielder Lewis O'Brien is the latest acquisition, making the move from top flight Nottingham Forest, while Wrexham have also signed Ryan Hardie, Danny Ward, Liberato Cacace, George Thomason and Josh Windass. Wrexham kick-off their Championship campaign at Southampton, relegated from the Premier League, on Saturday, August 9.

Man Utd tipped to sign another huge Arsenal talent by former coach
Former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen has tipped Ruben Amorim to launch an audacious bid to sign Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri. The teenager made a stunning impact last season with his boyhood club and is now a firmly established member of Mikel Arteta's first team. Nwaneri followed up his breakthrough campaign by starring for England's Under-21 side that won the European Championship earlier this summer. The 18-year-old has featured prominently in pre-season so far and is understood to be on the cusp of signing a new long-term deal, despite significant transfer interest from Chelsea. With that contract still unsigned, however, Meulensteen hasn't ruled out the possibility of United coming up with a tempting counter offer. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. The likes of Ayden Heaven and Chido Obi have both found new homes at Old Trafford in the last 12 months having made their names at the increasingly prolific Hale End Academy. Nwaneri already has stiff competition for a place in Arsenal's midfield in the shape of Martin Odegaard and with Max Dowman making rapid progress he faces plenty of obstacles, not accounting for the potential arrival of Eberechi Eze from Cystal Palace. 'Ayden Heaven looks to be an astute bit of business and it's interesting that there is a pathway of players moving from Arsenal to Manchester United with Chido Obi another one,' Meulensteen told Grosvenor Casino. 'These players have had a good education and for whatever reason they didn't see a way forward at their particular club, United acted swiftly and we've seen them do well. 'Ethan Nwaneri could be another one, it's interesting that other Arsenal players have been keen on United. 'What I would say on Nwaneri, I think there will be a bit more of a tug-of-war going on and more financial demands than with those two.' United's current transfer focus appears to be centering on their search for a new centre forward with Benjamin Sesko and Ollie Watkins their top targets. 'The opportunities that the young players have got here in the past,' Heaven told MUTV when asked why he decided to join Manchester United earlier this year. 'I think United had the most minutes given to teenagers last season [2023/24]. That convinced me to come here. 'And the people and the fans here are quite loving, and I felt that when I was playing. They're so supportive.' Given his age and Premier League experience, many view Watkins as the option most likely to register an instant impact, but Meulensteen fears it would foolish to draw comparisons with Robin van Persie who joined the club at a similar stage in his career. 'At that particular time, we had sort of this philosophy and strategy of bringing in younger players in and then developing them,' Sir Alex Ferguson's former No.2 said. 'However, we all felt that we needed quality and experience in that squad. 'We did have conversations with senior players in the squad just to test the water a little bit. In 2012 we all felt that they felt we needed somebody that had that wow factor when they walked through the door. More Trending 'That player was Robin Van Persie, that is a big wow. It gave everyone a lift and you don't need any time to get him settled, he was a proven player. 'Maybe that is less so with Ollie Watkins, Van Persie is considered one of the best players that has ever played in the Premier League and that is a high mark. 'For us at that particular time, we felt that we needed somebody to come in that complimented us. Obviously, that was a bullseye signing. 'We won the league and he scored 30 goals, it was fantastic.'

Inside Lioness hero Lucy Bronze's low-key life from secret romance to real name
England's Lucy Bronze helped the Lionesses to clinch Euro glory performances on the pitch, but away from the sport, she lives a low-key life with her rumoured girlfriend Lioness Lucy Bronze managed a Herculean 105 minutes as England triumphed over Spain in the European Championships final, having also damaged her right leg in the dramatic quarter-final win over Sweden. That performance in the quarter-final summed up Bronze - scoring to bring the tie back to 2-1 before strapping up her leg for the winning penalty in the shootout, and perfectly fits in with her middle name - Tough. Born Lucia Roberta Tough Bronze, the England icon was given her apt middle name as it is her mother Diane's maiden name. Bronze displayed more than her fair share of toughness as she revelled in England's penalty shootout triumph over Spain on Sunday. Lucy, 33, is known as one of the world's top female footballers - boasting over 120 international appearances and a collection of silverware, including five Champions League crowns. The football star transferred to Chelsea in 2024 following her time at Barcelona, and her adaptability as a right-back or wing-back continues to prove invaluable for both club and nation. Away from the football pitch, she was rumoured to be in a relationship with England's vice-captain and Chelsea player Keira Walsh, 28. In the summer of 2022, Bronze and Walsh both made the switch from Man City to Barcelona and competed in the World Cup as part of the Lionesses squad the following year. The pair kept their rumoured romance relatively low-key and never publicly confirmed their relationship, but shared several cosy photos together on social media over the years. Some of which included sun-soaked getaways together, including a break to Lyon, France, in 2019 and a trip to LA in May 2022, where they struck a pose on the beach. They've even spent time together with both their families, as a sweet Instagram snap showed Lucy and Keira beaming alongside their loved ones. While they never confirmed their relationship together or a split, things seemed to suddenly come to an end. Despite their romance seemingly fizzling out, Lucy and Keira appear to remain amicable and are both part of the Lioness squad. Lucy is now said to be romantically linked with Spanish footballer Ona Batlle, 26. While neither of the pair have confirmed their relationship, they have shared a series of sweet snaps together. One social media post saw them on holiday together last month before the Euros kicked off in Switzerland. In the post, Lucy wrote: "Few days of sun," while Ona commented with a heart-eyed emoji. They even took a trip to Disneyland Paris together in December last year. Meanwhile, Lucy recently opened up about her future and about starting a family of her own one day. In an interview with Women's Health, she shared: "I could get a corporate job. I could try to be part of the Federation or FIFA. I could help someone like Chelsea develop the women's team." The player added: "I wouldn't say there's something I'm dying to do, apart from have a family. My brother's got two kids and that's what I'm most jealous of, seeing my niece and nephew. But there's plenty of time for that – and what that looks like, I don't know." In March this year, she revealed she was diagnosed with autism and ADHD back in 2021. The news didn't come as a bombshell to those closest to her, as she recounted on BBC Sport: "I remember Demi (Stokes)... when I said it to her she was like 'obviously'. I got that reaction off everyone, my mum, my family." Lucy confessed she had spotted the indicators herself before undergoing assessment, yet still felt misunderstood. "I remember when I was younger being treated a bit differently because of how I was acting," she said. "Growing up as a child that was misunderstood, I don't want that for anybody else." The sports star now serves as an ambassador for the National Autistic Society, campaigning to boost understanding and challenge prejudice surrounding the condition. Although she was originally offered the option of medication for her ADHD, she declined after some thought, dubbing it her "superpower" on the pitch. She said: "Everyone's like 'you're so passionate about football'. I don't know if I'd say I'm passionate, I'm just obsessed and that's my autism. I think it has made me so successful at football especially. "Something that's really good for ADHD is exercise. Training every day is amazing for me. The girls are like 'are you sure you're 33? You just don't stop' and I'm like, 'That's my superpower'."
