Tim Tebow's attorneys have sent a cease and desist letter to Cubby Tees for producing a t-shirt that uses the New York Jets logo with the tagline My Jesus.

The t-shirt doesn't use Tebow's likeness anywhere, but Tebow's attorneys claim that the merchandise makes it appear as if Mr. Tebow actually endorses Cubby Tees and its products, according to TMZ.

The sports-themed t-shirt maker readily admits that the shirt is inspired by Tebow, but that it is not officially endorses by the New York Jets backup quarterback.

This fun design is not officially endorsed by New York's backup quarterback or the Son of God, but plays off the themes of Tebow's faith and his new team, the company said on its website.

The company additionally sent a response to Tebow's attorneys, according to TMZ, that stated the design shares nothing with Mr. Tebow except for promotion of a common Lord and Savior.

Since the Tebow lawsuit became public, the Cubby Tees website has gone down -- likely due to a traffic overload.

The company also produces Rob Gronkowski and Robert Griffin III related merchandise, according to Yahoo Sports, but that all of it is unofficial.
