It does, actually. Here in the States, "rez" is well known slang for "reservation," and is used derogatively by the extremely and systematically marginalized Native American population. Certainly there's a chance someone could observe the t-shirt and take good faith offense.
That said, the word has obviously been kicking around for quite some time in Underworld fandom, and I personally don't object in principal to any of the merch. Taking Dubman's point, though, I'd probably think twice about a t-shirt if one lives in the US; but one knows one's respective community best, of course.
