You would be right if not for the fact that it was instead Yoshi Ps comments that formed the basis of the theories. It wasn't that he wore the shirt, it was that he said "I love spiderman, especially the Sam Raimi films", and given that in japan that Sam Raimi's name is said very closely to the way that Samurai is said, it wasn't a difficult leap.
