I Just Wanted a Hoodie…

As a proud student at the Jewish Theological Seminary, I have always been a little bit disappointed at the fact that we don’t have awesome JTS gear that I could proudly keep in the bottom of my dresser, never to be worn. Why, oh why, is there no JTS clothing?
And then I found this:

JTS is the latest innovation in Christian apparel. With designs specifically tailored to the uniqueness of today’s Christian community, JTS seeks to provide a faith-based clothing line that appeals to both Christian and non-Christian alike. The company is engaged in the production of all apparel essentials and accessories; however, t-shirts represent the major share of the company’s production. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality apparel meeting the needs of today’s fashion conscious Christian.

If this is what I gotta do for a for some JTS gear, then John 3:16 it is, I guess.

  1. that’s jacksonville theological seminary. that’s why we’re jtsa.edu and not jts.edu…. oh yeah and to distinguish us from the (now defunct) one in breslau.
    but i agree: i think a black hoodie with a raised design of the burning bush would look totally sweet.

  2. Don’t ruin it for me!
    And there doesn’t seem to be anything on the site directly linking it to jts, or did i miss something?

  3. Not true. I bought a JTS tee from the Salvation Army about three weeks ago. It is neon orange in color with a blue Magen David, “Jewish Theological Seminary of America” logo, and a verse from Isiah 40:31. In fact the last time I wore it (on my b’day) I got cursed out in spanish (I couldn’t make out all of what he said but it started off with “jud?o” and became more and more hostile in his tone). Maybe he realized that I was sporting a tee from a school I have never attended.

  4. When I was a student there I begged and I pleaded with the development department to sell baseball hats with the JTS motto: “The bush was not consumed.” But to no avail.

  5. I think I smell a Cafe’ Press in the works…
    JTS: Closeting gays and lesbians since 1886
    JTS: The Progressive Orthodoxy
    JTS: Shalom Birdie-Broadway 2008
    Too much? Am I not particpating in responsible speech online? Will Balaam’s Donkey beat me?
    Punalicious.

  6. They used to have lots of JTS (and Ramah) gear, but it all had the burning bush on it, and that slogan, too…apparently there’s not a huge market for clothing that says “And the bush was not consumed” across certain areas.
