I have a T-Shirt with the Pioneer Plaque drawing and I sometimes go out of my way to wear it when I know I’ll be meeting new people. To most people, it’s just a nice drawing, and is filtered out quickly. A few that do recognize it always make a comment, and it’s a great conversation starter. Would definitely recommend something like that.
I also have a few nerdy ones like you mentioned, but the “nerd and proud of it” can be perceived as obnoxious, so I try not to wear them in settings where that is likely to happen.
Good signaling on the face of it, and a great dog whistle for the initiated.
I’ve been working on framing an Apollo picture with the quote:
And someday when the descendants of humanity have spread from star
to star, they won’t tell the children about the history of Ancient Earth until
they’re old enough to bear it; and when they learn they’ll weep to hear that
such a thing as Death had ever once existed!
A little long for a t-shirt, and maybe a little too bold.

That is a nice compromise and avoids the down-sides mentioned by this comment.
