Interesting, probably something to do with the sponsor at a guess (are they Chinese?)

I really like it, I don’t wear football tops out and about but I’m going to order one as a round the house t shirt.

Different. Obviously a money making thing. I mean Chinese New Year shirt?

But I actually like it.

According to Chinese folklore, the Jade Emperor said the order of the zodiac animals would be decided by the order in which they arrived to his party. The Rat tricked the Ox into giving him a ride. Then, just as they arrived at the finish line, the Rat jumped down and landed ahead of the Ox, becoming first.  

Reminded me of how Jeremy Corbyn became leader of the Labour Party!
