These folks may just pay their simple 'dues' to get the rights to use pink in that fashion and then sell shirts for profit.
It's a support thing, wearers are being supportive with a sense of humor. The humor is giving it legs, and getting people to wear the shirts that probably normally wouldn't.
I see nothing wrong with the shirts themselves, but don't approve of the money not going directly for research.
That's why I buy the GVSU ones, they go directly to research and not just for awareness. There are plenty of other items people sell for simply awareness, which I agree is stupid...do something good with the money otherwise awareness doesn't mean anything.
