"Heavenly Father, grant us courage to play our best, grant us wisdom to learn from our failures as well as our success, and grant the opposing QB an ACL tear before halftime. Amen."

I can't decide if the website for Christian Throwback Jerseys is a joke or not. I mean, we live in a world where you can buy statuary of Jesus lateraling a football to a child (and that other kid tackling Jesus is totally going to hell), so nothing would surprise me at this point. The site also bills itself as a "a proud sponsor of Jesus Christ," which would seem to indicate Christ has their logo on his stock car, and we all know how much the son of god loves him some NASCAR.

In short, it isn't that I have a hard time believing someone would make "inspirational" sports togs, but rather that the same someone would be so ignorant of American trademark law. I'll let you be the judge:

That explains the jump shot against Utah.

He'll need the help if he's ever going to win a Super Bowl.

No Leviticus, strangely enough, and I bet Ministry fans would like a "Psalm 69" equivalent.

Folks, if you're really that gonzo about purchasing Biblical-themed sports apparel, you're already covered. There's actually a real guy, who plays right wing for the NY Islanders, who should be your primary stop for Scripture-friendly gear.

Of course, I was always partial to his Buffalo Sabres jersey:

Not a joke. Instead of candy bars and car washes, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes sells these jerseys as their fundraiser.

Drop kick me, Jesus, through the goal posts of life...

So I guess that's what Propagandhi meant when they said "Jesus saves! Gretzky scores!".

I'm not sure this needs an introduction...

I own the Satan jersey. Away, though, I think, I'd have to look.

I just wanna see how that sponsorship deal with Jesus was set up.
