Christian T Shirts for Teens
From LoveToKnow Teens
Christian t shirts for teens are a fun way to express your faith – without even saying a word. From delicately screened verses of scripture to clever plays on words, there are dozens of Christian teen clothing options for today's teen to look unique and be proud of their faith.
Types of Christian T Shirts for Teens
While in past decades Christian teens were relegated to either a simple piece of cross jewelry or making their own shirts, today there are a tremendous amount of options in Christian t shirts for teens and young adults.
Revised Logos
One of the most popular and fun ways for teens to don Christian shirts is buy those that reinvent popular logos, slogans, pictures, and iconic pop-culture phrases. These offer a unique twist in that many of the reinventions are pretty far from anything associated with religion – like the popular fast food restaurant Subway (the green reinvented shirt is adorned with a 'Hisway' logo instead) or the infamous 'got milk?' transformed into 'got Jesus?' Other popular screens are "JC" instead of Superman, "God wants You To Be (play off of YouTube) saved", "Jesus." It's just that easy," (a play off of the well-known Staples 'Easy' button), and "Jesus died for [my space] in Heaven."
Vintage Look
Vintage teen clothing is popular, and Christian teens can wear vintage t shirts to show off their faith, too. These shirts typically have a faded look and vintage style and may be designed with either modern logos or recreations from eras past that have a Christian spin.
Interest-Themed Christian Shirts for Teens
Another popular type of Christian t shirt for youths is interest based Christian shirts. Many teens love these types of shirts because it refutes the notion that Christians are 'boring' and don't know how to have fun. Living an abundant life in Christ means pursuing all types of interested and activities, and interests based Christian t shirts express exactly that. In addition to an image or depiction of an activity (guitar playing, racing, etc), these shirts often use a pun or play on words and a touch of humor to add interest. For example,
Issue-Based Christian Youth T Shirts
Many Christian teens may feel very strongly on some issues, or have a strong response against some issues in the world. Whereas some may herald evolutions theories, for example, some teens may respond with a t shirt that is declarative of creation theory as outlined in the Bible. While some of these t shirts are light-hearted and humorous, some are very strong in their messages.
Christian t shirts, especially strong issue-based messages or shirts that infuse humor, are sometimes considered controversial, particularly among certain sects and older generations. Most teens that wear Christian t shirts have sincere belief systems and feel their apparel is a relevant, contemporary way to show their faith. Whether lighthearted and fun or a bold message against what a teen feels is wrong, these shirts undoubtedly hold provocative messages for readers.
Where to Buy Christian T Shirts
Christian t shirts for teens are sold at Christian bookstores, online retailers, and specialty t shirt companies. Some traditional and online teen clothing stores are also popping up – like C28 – that specialize in Christian teen apparel. You can also customize your own shirts from many online vendors. A few sites that have Christian teen t shirt selections include:
Your Shirt Says It. Are You Living It?
In a culture where it's commonly accepted for teens to go against many of the things the Bible stands for, it's important for Christian teens to live a life that truly speaks about their faith. For many of a Christian teen's peers, their life may be the only 'Bible' they ever read. Their lives will be how others view Christianity. A strong faith and loving kindness can be a stronger message of a teen's Christian beliefs than any t shirt.
"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." James 1:22
