Now I could be wrong BUT:

If I remember correctly the first time I heard "AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI" was at our own Sydney Olympics in 2000.

It was the cheer our swimming team yelled out while sitting, jumping and dancing in the stands at the aquatic centre and cheering on their team-mates who were racing.

One person with an extremely LOUD voice leads the chant.

"Aussie Aussie Aussie! (leader) Oi oi oi! (crowd)

The first line may or may not be repeated.

Aussie! (leader) Oi! (crowd)

Aussie! (leader) Oi! (crowd)

Aussie Aussie Aussie! (leader) Oi oi oi! " (crowd)

Juan Antonio Samaranch pleased the Sydney home crowd by personally leading one of these cheers at the Closing Ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

I don't know what it means ,but Poker champ Joe Hachem http://www.poker.com/poker-pros/joe-hach...

(Check out his Quotes) always says it when he wins a good hand.  The shirt might have been referring to him. He is very popular in the poker world.
