The only applicable rule is:
" 7.2.2 Team/Club clothing
No rider may wear the jersey of a club or team that the rider is not
eligible to represent.
In mass start events Category 1 and 2 riders from the same club/
team must wear uniforms that are obviously similar unless the
rules for the specific event require otherwise."
In other words, you are not required to wear team clothing unless you are a
Cat 1 or 2 rider and it is a mass start event. Even then you don't have to
wear team clothing as long as you wear something "obviously similar", say
zebra striped T-shirts. Enforcement and interpretation of this rule is not
particularly strict. The idea is to be able to identify people who may be
using a team tactic (leading someone out, blocking, etc.).
The answers to these questions and many others can be found in the rules
which are available on the OBRA.org web page.

Can you belong to a team and not wear the jersey in a race?

I have a question about OBRA Rule 7.2.2 - Team/Club clothing, "No rider may
wear the jersey of a club or team that the rider is not eligible to
represent."
If I am not a member of any team, can I race in a commercially sold jersey
such as one advertising Lucky Lab or Deschutes?
