The already-famous "LIVEWRONG" is probably both more popular and (as
much as it pains me to admit) funnier:

That, and your full Evil Cycling team kit would look mighty nice.
Probably need to wear AXO Blackball shoes and ride a Fetish Ankh.
Actually, maybe a pale bicycle would work better.
Back to your actual question, I'd certainly put it to any jersey maker
that if they wanted to license the LIVEDRUNK design, I'd be glad to do
so. What the trademark, registered or not, is actually worth might come
down to whether it could even be licenseable given that it owes almost
all of its IP and design DNA to parodying "LIVESTRONG" is a question for
the lawyers.
