As mentioned in their trademark policy - http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy , one is required to obtain a trademark license for "Use for merchandising purposes, e.g. on t-shirts and the like". Alternatively what we can do is design a template for imprinting on Tshirts and distribute the design. One can then personally use the template and get the Tshirt printed by himself/herself from some online shop selling customisable Tshirts (We have personally used http://www.myntra.com for getting our college tshirts printed, their prices are reasonable, within Rs. 300/- to Rs. 500/- . There are quite a few other such Indian shops as well and btw I don't work for Myntra, just one of their satisfied customers :) ). Open distribution of the community designed template based on Ubuntu logo should fall within "Community Advocacy" and getting the design printed on a Tshirt for personal use should fall within "no commercial intent behind the use" as one is not selling the Tshirts. Usage of the Ubuntu logo under the above circumstances is explicitly allowed by the Ubuntu trademark policy without a trademark license. Ofcourse this was my two cents, kindly correct me if I have been wrong somewhere.
