Looks like the feminine form of متحد "united" with the article, so something like "the united one". Perhaps it's a metaphysical or philosophical term?

On the other hand, could be a reference to Man U.

Seems unlikely, considering the product description:

"KTZ Yin Yang Embroidered Towelling Apron T-Shirt in black. Drawing inspiration from the Berber Tribe, KTZ present this oversized apron t-shirt from their Spring Summer 2014 menswear collection. In black, the short sleeved cotton t-shirt features the striking UNITED print on the back with towelled Yin Yang design on the front. The top is finished with apron detail on the front and back."

I actually looked up "united" on Google Translate but the characters didn't look exactly the same so I wondered if maybe it the shirt was wrong.

Looks like they wanted to write "united," googled it, and came up with the definite feminine singular/inanimate plural adjective, which is what appears in high-frequency collocations like "United Nations" and "United States." It doesn't mean much by itself, though.
