Abercrombie and Fitch and its subsidiary Hollister have shown an unusual degree of anatagonism to the name of Christ and an unusual display of wickedness in their promotions.
In protest, we will not allow articles of clothing displaying their logos to we worn, carried or displayed. (even if covered or masked in some way)

"Jesus barred from Bob Jones for long hair and beard"
I don't know where Bob Jones sits in the scheme of things. Probably between Oral Roberts and Anal Hargis.
This is their place and they can do what they want, but I don't agree with them.
Modesty is fine, conservative dress is fine, but saying no denim shirts etc. and connecting that with "being bad" is a lot of hooey.
Look at the volunteers at any soup kitchen, homeless shelter or Mother Teresa house and you will find 90 percent of them in jeans and t-shirts -- some with long hair, too, and colored hair, God forbid.
I know it's a private school, and free to run itself as it sees fit, but for cryin' out loud! This is a bit much.....even if the logo is COVERED?????
In Iran this would be "warring against God."
Beer spew...lol
I'm sure you thought that was cute. Have you heard about any of the Abercrombie and Fitch advertisements or catalogs? If you think long hair and a beard compares, you have some rather strange standards.
Good news.
I give them credit for putting their money where their mouths are. A& F is a very popular brand...
LOL...And don't even get me started on John the Baptist!
I agree -- they can do whatever they want. I think they are off base, though.
Bravo!
Yeah.....every snapshot I have ever seen of Jesus showed him with long hair and a beard.....
Do they let folks drive a Ford on campus?
Private school=their property and rules...
The soup kitchen people likely did not pay $50 for their denim shirts. Nor were they the likely consumers of the Abercrombie marketing machine that oddly doesn't seem to showcase their clothing, if you know what I mean.
Did it say they were outlawing denim? Is Abercrombie the only place you can buy denim?
