People can be proud of a good spirit, quality, attitude and wear something about it to not only show off but also encourage other people. But this is different from bringing your work life into your social life by painting a job title on your tshirt.
IMO it's better to strip the 'Entrepreneurs' part and leave maybe "Let's make shit happen". At least it sounds more cheering to me.

Don't take one persons word too strongly. Also, I really like everything about your website and if I had a product, I'd be happy with a site like yours.

That would instantly make things less show-off and just generally motivating.
I could keep the 'apparel for entrepreneurs' within the brand, just not plaster it all over the front of the tees.
What specifically turned you off? The site branding, tee designs, the idea of apparel for entrepreneurs?
There is certainly some room to improve all this and narrow down the focus.
I've basically just printed stuff I want to wear (so I don't have to think about what I wear to the office for the next few years).
But I don't really feel successful business people should be bragging about how much better they are than anyone else on a T-Shirt.
Don't take it as a personal insult - my culture is probably different to yours. I'm not your target audience anyway.
Maybe the middle ground here would be making them less flashy and focused more to the aspiring founder.
Thank you for the feedback :).
