People (myself included) are more worried about the optics and having others think you are mocking Judaism.

Perhaps I'm overthinking it. But I would not wear that shirt outside of maybe an actual BYU game where there would be no concern that it would be taken out of context.

I get that they are having fun with it, but I can’t fathom wearing that shirt.

Keep in mind it was created by the Utah County Jewish Community.

I like the font on the rabbi's BYU sweatshirt. Where can I purchase that one?

Exactly, on the list of things that are currently causing Jews harm this T-shirt wouldn't even be on the list.

How many non-LDS people would be comfortable wearing a “Mormon” shirt in public?

I can just hear Sugarhouse being offended on a bajillion levels.

Or, as Indiana Jones would say, "In Hebrew, Jew is spelt with a Yod."

I learned this last year who my actual great-grandfather is, and it turns out he's Jewish. I guess I should get one.

I am not against this at all, but I am curious if BYU agreed to allow this.

Short answer: QB's the storied position at Mormon BYU. Many Americans would find that very odd & interesting. Also,
