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.

Most of them were started by men and women. The circumstances that resulted to their introduction into the market are varied but there are some commonalities in them. Some players in the past years have confessed of coming up with the idea due to hard moments that they had gone through in one way or another. Most of them did so when their careers hit a hard rock.

Many people respect and honor people and this is the major reason why their attire is used for this purpose. Over the years, it has been the heart of various individuals especially the male species and this means the choice of the attire is a perfect one. Its popularity and preference by many resulted into the idea.

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.

From history, it is clear that their introduction was not a very interesting one. This means that the idea came up because someone went through a hard life. Some people have confessed that they actually had the idea when they lost what they loved most. One player who sells these attires once said that he thought about it when he had an injury and could not continue with his career.

The advantage that this idea came along with is the fact that the word of God is actually preached even when there are no preachers around. People will read the verses in the various attires and may end up getting something new from the Bible which may end up changing their lives. It is therefore a cheaper way of spreading the good news to various people.

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.
