I mean seriously Look at the design! The fonts are all cartoony and it's just a mish-mash of symbols. Even the ad itself is totally tongue in cheek... "hold your destiny in your own hands." LOL
I would totally wear that shirt - it would be priceless to see how many people I could giggle at when they took it too seriously.

So, omnicenticity, (and this is not ment to be antagonistic)
how can you gaurantee that this is some sort of joke amongst design insiders? Have you seen the others in the same category: "Cult of the Serpent", "Knights Templar", Council of Nine"? If this is some sort of tongue in cheek joke, then it is still creepy in my opinion. Also, in my opinion, the fonts do not look cartoony.
I am not contending that this is an evil shirt, but almost surely if you are here (Camelot/Avalon), you would agree that the illuminati and bohemian grove represent evil forces? No?
If that is the case, then I would assert that by wearing these shirts and branding yourslef an Illuminati Knight, even as a joke (like the Obama hipster who ironically wears a McCain t-shirt), is still in a way identifying with evil. Unless maybe you draw a big circle w/ a line through it over the shirt.
