龍虎 (ryūko): "dragon and tiger."
Sixteenth-century Japan had its own dragon and tiger. Uesugi Kenshin, lord of Echigo, was known as the Dragon of Echigo, and his great rival Takeda Shingen was the Tiger of Kai. Their armies met at Kawanakajima five times between 1553 and 1564, and none of those battles settled which of them was stronger. Japanese keeps a phrase for a clash like that, ryūko aiutsu, the dragon and the tiger coming to blows, saved for two rivals of equal strength.
The fight is boxed in a frame on the back: a teal dragon dives out of the clouds while a tiger springs up off the waves to meet it, with red flame and spray between them. A small round badge on the chest pairs the two again.
Kenshin and Shingen never settled it, so get one for the friend you've argued with since school and see who wears it first. Boxed in its frame on white, the whole fight reads at a glance. If the tiger's your side of it, he has more room in the tiger tees.
