BYU branding wouldn't go for that, but I think people probably are fine that he's having a great experience here (see visit with Shane Reese recently).

Not awkward unless you make it awkward.

That’s so weird. Good grief

A little odd, but hey I guess it's a good cause.

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 really like it, but I'd only wear it to a BYU game

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

First thing that came to mind for me as well.

Not the same thing. Nobody is worried about offending the local Jewish community

Duke Silver

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?

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.

Could you imagine if JR ever ended up at Utah through the transfer portal?

Trib headline “BYU fans burn jew shirts in protest of their QB.”

Are you purposely trying to make things weird?

I'm done with the weirdos that are trying to make this awkward.

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