"Cluttered" was the word I was looking for when I saw the design.

That would be better. Another idea would be to have the distro names on 
the back.

I'm not convinced that putting the distro names on there is a good idea, 
though. When I buy a T-shirt I like it to last me a couple of years. I 
would feel a bit stupid walking around in a T-shirt listing distros that 
don't exist anymore or not naming distros that should be on there.

Showing all the logos is prettier, but has the added disadvantage that 
distros might change their branding.
