My spelling mistake was deliberate, unlike the one on the t-shirt.

Re: Stephen Hawking T-Shirt
Ah... gottcha! To be honest I skimmed over your introductory "Quite" and went to the Amazon link and thought ...waht?

I'm really confused now...
The heading for the add says: "Stephen Quite People Have The Loudest Minds Quote by Mr. Hawking Men's Long Sleeve T-Shirt"
First I too thought it was a spelling mistake, then I thought it couldn't be. So... perhaps it's an 'ironic' T-Shirt? - "Look at me. I'm LOUD*, but so cool I don't mind pointing it out with my ironic take on a quote from that smart but Quiet guy Stephen Hawking. Yeah!"
But now I'm not so sure...
* Or so dumb I don't realise somebody has sold me a T-Shirt that makes me look dumb while thinking I look cool and smart.
Perhaps they should market it as an 'Iconic' (cough!) T-Shirt?

Re: Stephen Hawking T-Shirt
I suspect the author of the text on the T-shirt was attempting a task beyond his/her ability. The inconsistent capitalisation is another clue. C.

If you look at the photos very carefully, especially the white, grey, black versions, it's clear that the teeshirt and text is photo shopped on top.
An elaborate joke, idea for publicity? No idea.
If you click on the Blak Tee link, you find the same model in the same stance advertising other teeshirts.
No idea who the model is, but if he has a good lawyer, he could maybe sue Blak Tee for a few million for being made to look a complete D*ckhead.
