Trademark and copyright law are complicated, so I wanted to just stick to the facts in the blog piece, but FWIW, the lawyer whose blog I cited would tend to agree with you.

She's a Phish fan who coincidentally happened to write a couple of weeks ago on this topic in her discussion of infringement in stuff she saw at the Tahoe lot Shakedown here:

She concludes a "Tahoe" shirt in the form of the Phish logo is infringing, but "song title parody" and "fishman dress pattern" merch is not.

Score: 1

The Mockingbird Foundation

The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.

And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
