I think it's easier to move from "bad shirts" to "good shirts" than from "no shirts" to "good shirts".

I think quite the reverse. Inertia is a thing and bad shirts are "we already have them".

Making some shirts is a low-effort endeavour -- just throw the design at CafePress or Zazzle and you're done.

I prefer the experimental approach, of experimenting and then figuring out better ways to do things. This is how the most successful startups work.

Besides, we are doing new t-shirts now based on the feedback. Your thoughts on these two options would be helpful 1 and 2.

For this you need a way to measure and assess outcomes. What is the metric that you are using to figure out what's "better"?
