Interesting point. I totally agree that the brand value is stronger in
other designs. However having just the GNOME logo on a shirt looks like
"maybe just another clothing brand I don't know about yet" to
"outsiders" without providing much values.
My naive idea: If the "House of Monkeys" shirt is considered cute, the
first impression of people not knowing GNOME is that GNOME is also
something cute.

Probably it really depends on who you talk to. I mostly refered to
people not into computers when I go out in the evening.

Of all the geeky shirts I have the "Beagle" one[1] has created by far
the most feedback (people starting to talk to me, often immediately
asking how they can buy one while having no idea that it's a software).
