I think if the extra cost is covered by the extra sales, keep it on. One of the punters where I worked last year decided to bring his kids down to Tolka during the summer. They really enjoyed the day but said straight away things would be easier if they had their names on the shirts.
It does help new fans if they can idenfity players. They might get into the swing of things and come back. It also helps City fans who know the City team but few other players in the league.
