Holiday souvenir or groupie must-have, the slogan t-shirt is a trend
that refuses to die. But in the hands of the fervently religious it's a
means to evangelise to everyone they pass. Here's a list of the 20 best
we've found. P.S. There are no Buddhist t-shirts in the list but Boing Boing tells
us that the Dalai Lama is due to set up a celebrity t-shirt line in
October so it could all change. (LIBBY ADDS - my favourite is not on
the list. It just says "Jesus is Coming. Look busy")
Hijabman is the designer and Muslim blogger behind this bold slogan. He says his website's "a form of worship, a form of thanks to God," are his t-shirts as well?
The Muslim Baby Shop offers even the youngest believers a chance to state their faith.
The amusing "A Little Leavan"
blog - which rails against but thrives on tacky Christian products -
showcases this "Jesusbucks" t-shirt. You could ponder your salvation
whilst stirring your latte I suppose.
Lucky Jew ("shirts for the chosen people")brings us this tee for the super hero in you
Kerusso means to "herald divine truth as a public crier; to preach the gospel" - the usual criteria for a t-shirt choice then.
Cafepress offers this classic design for Sikhs
These three come from Ilm
(knowledge in Arabic) a company set up to spread a little Islam and
continue the tradition of using the "t-shirt as a personal billboard".
The Jesus Is My Homeboy
range has attracted a celebrity following but it promises that it isn't
cashing in on a trend. It is a tribute to the time when saying "Jesus
is your homeboy" saved Van Zan Frater from a gang with guns.
In parody of the above Cafepress has produced this t-shirt for the Hindu market
Totally Catholic's t-shirts were once only worn by the most pious of pilgrims who longed to live pre-Reformation (see example below).
But they have turned hip for the iPod generation with this new design.
Crazytees offers these for the fashion conscious faithful
And for an emblem to end all emblems T-shirt humour can do you this in a t-shirt, cap, mug, apron, mousemat or poster.
