I can only assume you're not in the US. I'm in Aus, I don't think there's any rule about political party branded clothing here but I think if you were wearing clothing with a political parties logo and not directly involved in the party, either an actual politician or helping with their campaign, then people would think there was something dodgy going on ..

In the US there's laws in some, but not all states, preventing you from campaigning for any candidate close to a polling place. This includes signs, clothing, and verbally promoting a party or candidate.
It doesn't matter if you're doing it "officially" or just as a random citizen standing in line.
