Just be aware that the hand gesture depicted on this shirt is actually considered as offensive in the UK. . . .

The victory is around the other way. Around this way it means f*** you. But I don't find this t-shirt offensive.

Yeah, this is also offensive in Australia... And we don't have much exposure to mexican wrestling either... It looks cool though

I'm Australian also and DO have exposure to lucha, maybe a mask instead of the fingers?

The hand gesture being offensive in the UK (and thus later Australia) originates from the badass English longbowmen of medieval times, specifically during the Battle of Agincourt (1415). The French would cut off the index and middle finger of any archers they captured, so the longbowmen would stick their fingers up at the Frenchies in a defiant gesture of 'up yours, I've still got my fingers.'



Despite being massivly outnumbered at Agincourt the Longbowmen evidently kept enough of their fingers to give the French a good sound thrashing, decisivly winning the battle and making Henry V Regent of France.



I like this shirt.

That "Battle of Agincourt" origin story about the gesture is a false myth.

Well, I'm not a lesbian, but I'm very familiar with what MolluskmenAttack is saying.



Oh and it's not just popular with the teens, the 70's generation started it all!!!
