Maybe I'm off base here, but this seems weird to me. I've heard of individual celebrities starting their own clothing lines, but never an apparel line based on an entire show. Well... HBO's Entourage has got one now.
Back in March, before the premiere of season three's second half, Adriano Goldschmied (never heard of them... sounds expensive) launched an entire line based on the popular show. As you would expect, there was a giant party and people walked away with gift bags that were probably more expensive than my life.
If you feel like dishing out $70, there are some pretty cool tee-shirts featuring Viking Quest and the Ari Gold instant classic "Let's Hug It Out Bitch." Personally, I'm content sticking with the $5.99 special from The Gap clearance rack.

Here's the thing: Every blog and web-based t-shirt vendor in the world has a "hug it out, bitch" t-shirt. For WAY less than seventy bucks. Want a different design? Well, Busted has a totally different version from Snorg or whatever.
Maybe jeans. Those are harder. But any jackass can print "hug it out, bitch" on a shirt and sell it for $20.

They'll get plenty of word of mouth marketing out of this but more along the lines of "omg who would pay that much" for the exact reasons aaron mentioned - you can just make your own or find a cheaper version online.

Goldschmied is German for goldsmith. Adequate.
