Someone downvoted you, but if you do look at the sweatshirt sales webpage, it does say this

"Licensor: Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), the German Foreign Intelligence Service

The BND logo is a registered trademark of the Bundesnachrichtendienst in Berlin, Germany. The BND is not involved in the operation, production, or sale of these products and accepts no liability. The BND does not receive any revenue from the BND Shop."

Which does seem a little bizarre.

the company that runs it calls it 'first official store'

It very much sounds like this was not their idea originally... wouldn't be surprised if this was initiated by BND, and they are legally not allowed to run it themselves or sth like that
