I think having jerseys of former players in the stands adds character to the crowd.
It almost seems too commercial/bandwagony if the jerseys in the crowd are of all current players.
The first time I was in the Saddledome the first jersey I saw was a Brathwaite jersey, which put a huge smile on my face (this was 2003 and he was no longer with the team). Freddy B played in the minors in my hometown, so it was a nice little cosmic 'welcome' to the stadium I've dreamed of attending since I was a little kid.
Wear them, wear them with pride.
