It’s a shirt that celebrates the obtainment of an Abitur of a certain class in 2008.
It’s a word play with the words “Abi” which is short for Abitur, the german A-levels so to speek, and “Bilanz” – balance sheet.
So I think its a shirt pupils made for their graduation.

It’s a shirt that lists people that finished school together in 2008 (Abishirt).

Ha, this could’ve been my Abishirt from 2010! Ü
So, Abi-shirts are a tradition among pupils finishing the last year of secondary education (Abitur). They come up with a funny pun including Abi(tur) and either their school or some subject or similar. On the back you print the names of the class or even the entire year, sometimes with photos.
The T-shirt shown here could be from a Gymnasium with an economic emphasis as it shows a t-account, a table sheet from accounting with debit and credit.

It’s an “Abi-Shirt” – a t-shirt designed by high-school graduates. “Abi” is short for “Abitur”, the final examination in the highest tier of German high schools (Gymnasium).
These shirts usually feature some word-play with “Abi”. This one says “ABIlanz”, which contains “Abi” and “balance” as in “balance sheet”, and the font reminds me of the one used by the Allianz insurance.
“Aus Soll wird Haben” can men “debit becomes credit”, but also “needing (to pass the exam) becomes having (passed the exam)”. The back looks like an account as like is used in teaching accounting.
The shirt may be from from a school with a business focus.

This is a T-shirt celebrating some class/year Abitur graduation (Abitur is the highest possible diploma of the secondary school system in Germany). The 08 on the front indicates the year (2008). Soll and Haben are terms used in Betriebswirtschaftslehre ( business administration/business economics, a school subject).

ABI is short for “Abitur” the qualification required to study at a university, obtained from a “Gymnasium” (it has nothing to do with sports! it’s one of the advanced school types)
Soll & Haben, as well as the table on the back refer to basic book-keeping rules, which match with the “(A)Bilanz” at the front (Bilanz = Balance Sheet). By “aus Soll wird Haben” (~ “that (a degree) what is supposed to be had, has been acquired”) they however are using the normal meaning of the word and not their respective meaning in book-keeping.
It’s common for German graduating classes to make puns with “abi” (z.B. “ABIn die Uni” =”ab in die Uni”~ “now go to the university”), although I consider the shirt here less funny as an example.

Why are so many people in Soll? Did they all fail to graduate?

A mediocre word play. At best.
Abitur = A level
Bilanz = Balance Sheet
