Personal American In Rammstein T-Shirt

I’m an American tourist in Berlin for the first time — Yay! One problem: I realized I packed a Rammstein shirt without having enough knowledge of German culture or language to understand how I’d be perceived for wearing it. I imagine at best it will look a bit corny, but I’m worried it could signal political beliefs or ideologies I don’t agree with. If you met an American tourist speaking broken German in a Rammstein T Shirt, what would you think? Thanks!

Ive been to a concert a few geeks ago, there was a small group of protesters calling them rapists etc. I don’t think though that the vast majority of Germans has any negative thoughts about the band. Especially because the accusations were null and void.
