I think it looks good - however, I'm slightly concerned about
reproducibility of the image in different media - shirts, caps,
parephenalia, black and white printing, etc. It looks like a
relatively complicated image. Is there a way of producing a simplified
image that is recognisable as the same image, so it is easier to
produce on limited-palette products? Also, what about a sans-serif
font, for longer-distance readability?

Overall, I like the image; just have a couple of concerns.

Just my 2c.
