History And Importance Of Christian Sports Apparel

By Lisa Williamson


After the death of Jesus Christ, the disciples were left with a duty of spreading the gospel to all nations. Currently there is no single country that has no idea completely about Christ, most at least know something even though not everything. This fact though does not stop the spread of the word of God because human beings have a weakness of forgetting easily and need a constant reminder. Because of this fact, various ways have been designed one of them being the use of Christian sports apparel.

These attires have been in existence for a couple of years now. They have acquired a great progress when it comes to popularity and the customer preference. Most sports clubs and groups especially the Christian ones are now going for these brands as they at least have a positive message to pass around to those whom they come across.

Most attires are now inscribed with words from the Holy Bible or just the beliefs of various faiths thus helping positively in the spreading of the word across board. It has helped a great deal because there are no costs incurred for example transport expenses by preachers and priest. It is a free sermon available to anyone who can see.

The commonly branded attires are the t-shirts but it has also spread to the branding of the shoes as well as the underwear. Most companies that deal with this also have wrist bands which are mostly associated with the activities. The garments are branded with either verses or quotes from the Bible.

This type of attire has resulted in the establishment of firms which offer job opportunities to various individuals. These firms are now competing with the market leaders which have been in existence for several years for example Nike and Reebok. The new Christian brands are gaining popularity so fast. They therefore result into an economic benefit.

They also have another very important benefit to the Christian community. The words inscribed in the various attires are quotes from the Bible or words describing the Christian faith. It is therefore an advantage in that it helps spread the gospel or the various faiths. When the attire is worn especially by the men or women, many people will end up reading the words and getting the message.

Many companies have come up as a result of this idea of the attires. Various companies have various brands and were established for various reasons but mostly for attainment of profits. Some churches have also bought the idea and come up with their own brands though some are not mostly related to this. They use them to raise funds for the church.

Having seen the advantages and a clear overview of these garments, decision lies on our side to determine if the use is really a Christian motive or just a selfish motive for own benefit especially financial gains. We need to way peoples priorities to know what they were mostly concerned about when they came up with the idea.
