Just as promised I’m releasing a new t-shirt celebrating the upcoming Chinese New Year, the year of the tiger. The design is a simple two-color print of the head of a tiger with the Chinese character for tiger inscribed on its forehead. I decided not to put the year as part of the design so this shirt can be worn any time, not just in 2010.
The Chinese New Year is actually the new year of the lunar calendar. It is without a doubt the single most important holiday in the Chinese calendar. Celebrations are marked by firecrackers, lion dances, gifts, and red envelopes, but most importantly, there is lots and lots of delicious Chinese food. Not only is it big in China and Taiwan, the lunar new year is celebrated in other Asian countries as well.
The Chinese New Year begins on February 14, 2010. Get ready for the celebrations and pick up the Year of the Tiger (Head) T-Shirt today!
Update: This shirt is a re-release. The new version has the Chinese character for tiger as part of the tiger’s stripes.
