    3 Their plan was to wear T-shirts saying...

    4 He looks the same as my brother when he was 10.

    Default Re: Are these sentences OK?

    1&3 sound better to me. 2 doesn't sork for me as the T-shirt might still have the slogan, but that isn't relevant.

    4&5 Both are OK, but I prefer 5.
