Not a chance. I think all the clothing is "designed" (branded) by
the folks at LEGO Brand Retail. They're probably limited to current
themes. The only two ways I can think of this happening are:
1. LEGO Direct produces some classic space logo merchandise (possibly
in connection with a set re-release).
2. LEGO licenses the classic space logo to a third party that produces
and sells the merchandise (with royalties going back to LEGO).

That's sort of a combination of the two:
3. LEGO Direct produces and sells t-shirts designed by fans.
That would work too! Whichever way it works out, I hope we end up with
true "first person, I am the minifig" shirts, not shirts with cool designs
that just include pictures *of* minifigs or logos (which brand retail makes
today).
P.S. the magnetic classic space sign would be pretty cool too!

LOL, yeah. All that would be really cool.
Did you notice the date from the original T-Shirt post?
I would love to make more shirts, but then they would just sic the lawyers
on me again. :^(
