We do it every year.  Siblings wear our shirts, parents wear it.  We did it at the VADC Championship tournament for the past 2 years.  No one has told us otherwise.  We did have a special sticker on the team member's shirts that had their name and our team number.  The "fan club" did not.

Only down side I see would be if someone in the "fan club" were to act poorly.    That might reflect on your team as a whole.

Wearing of the team shirts by the "fan club" is perfectly acceptable at any of the FLL events I have been to or have run. I can't imagine why this would be an issue.

One of our coaches had heard non-team members (ie. parents coming along to help but who aren't really coaches or official members) shouldn't wear the team shirts. If anything, I thought a big showing would be a positive (and would make everyone easy to spot while walking around). Can someone give me more info on this?
