As I read it, the sleeve is the only questionable portion. It's arguable that since the whole t-shirt is expressly references their "FIRST...activities", it should be OK. Interestingly, if they add a "Team 999" or "MechaRams" under the logo, there would be little doubt.

That seems legit except that the NEXT section discusses FIRST teams using the FIRST trademark to sell commercial items (i.e. t-shirts). In that section it says logos cannot be used.
2. Registered FIRST teams or FIRST participants (i.e., non-profit entities) may use the FIRST and the
Joint FIRST and LEGO Trademarks (
word marks, not the logos) and the LEGO word marks, and
Copyrighted Material to conduct activities related to a FIRST program (e.g., an FRC team teaching
skills to an FLL or Jr.FLL team) as long as they use the revenue to underwrite their cost of participation
in FIRST programs and use the Disclaimers. They do not have to obtain advance permission or provide
advance notice to FIRST, but as noted, they are not permitted to use the logos.
