Poodles were bred as aggressive hunting dogs, to hunt ducks in the marshes and streams of France. Their fur is for insulation while swimming to retrieve the game. The original purpose of the goofy haircut was to remove impediments to swimming around the joints.
Most dogs are good or bad depending on their owners (some breeds do have a predisposition for aggressiveness). Judge poodles, or any dog, by their owners.
As for T-shirts, I think intent is what matters. People wear T-shirts and jerseys of any number of professional athletes and teams, but few are pretending to actually be that player or on that team.
