It's cool to make shirts and stuff for people to wear, particularly if
you have dave smith's approval.

Without approval, I'd say it's definately NOT cool for you to be making
a profit off it.

No approval, and not making a profit? well, It's neither here or there
from where I'm sitting. DS may disagreee.

The thing is, this is dave's business name and trademarks you are using.
It's another person's intellectual property. how would you feel if you
had a band that was popular enough to sell t-shirts on the net, and
someone else opened a cafepress site using your bandname and song/album
titles, and images? then to top it off, sent you an email asking to
advertise their site on your web page?

intellectual property issues aside, I wouldn't wear one.... but that's
more from a not liking plain old logo-shirts or photo shirts kinda
thing.

I wear lots of t-shirts but I like very minimal, clean line art graphics
kinda stuff...  if anything, I'd wear a shirt with the evolver signal
flow diagram (or part therof, cause the whole thing is a bit too
complex) and maybe DSI/evolver (front panel logo font!) in really small
text out of the way of the image, if I absolutely had to... 

oh. and I don't wear white t-shirts. ever. they stain too easy, and they
look like arse anyway. light colours are a possibility, depending on how
well they're done. heavy colours are best. How about something in a nice
solid DSI evolver blue?
