The sensors can definitely be damaged by too much light

It’s not possible to damage cameras passively, so there isn’t an answer. But if it was possible it probably would be made illegal to wear those.

Right, I just mentioned that in another comment. I’m not quite sure it would count under OPs restrictions:
The only pattern/material that comes close to what OP is looking for would be a parabolic mirror. If you attach one of these to your shirts and then stand at the exact right angle and distance to a camera, you could damage it. However that is already stretching “passive” because it would require a lot of deliberate actions to position yourself that way. And it pretty much only works when the sun is out.

More like illegal to wear anywhere in the USA considering that we’re quickly becoming a surveillance state.

Quickly?
Every country is already a surveillance state, and has been for multiple decades.
Just look at Britain with cameras everywhere since at least the 1980’s.
Fucking Ring crap just doubled down on it, and idiot people don’t even care they’re providing the means. 1984 nailed it.
