The t-shirt in question

Panther, Tiger I, Tiger II (King Tiger) were the largest Nazi tanks of World War II. They're sometimes called "German Big Cats." There were also smaller vehicles named after felines, like the Puma armored car that has outsized presence in games when compared to actual production numbers.

The Germans stuck with the kitty naming convention post WWII, currently fielding Leopard 2s and Puma IFVs.

That's why I went with a very literal interpretation for the t-shirt. The cat, the Stahlhelm, the Imperial German decal (erroneously placed on the left-hand side of the helmet and IDK how long the Nazis used it), and the kitty saying "Krupp steel" are all references to the subject matter.

It's a fairly popular design, especially with gentlemen of the more portly proportions, because that's just what the audience that would find the joke funny are.

My girlfriend is frustrated with every sale of this one because she doesn't like it at all.

The design was drawn by Polina ages ago.
