That threw me of to at first too. I had no idea what he was trying to say.
I know nothing of soccer but I think it might be the different teams colors, and maybe fans paint their faces like that.

An orangutan, a gorilla, a chimp in different team colors or on the same team would of gotten his message across better.

At first I thought you were probably right because it would make actual sense
But then I searched images of "italian soccer fans face paint" and realized not only that patterns I was seeing had barely anything to do with the ones on the apes face, but also that they are all entirely different. While the markings on the apes faces are very similar in shape
