I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with specific Christian clothing or symbols such as a cross. Indeed, if they help a Christian sincerely worship God (like a stirring song might) then they are of great value. I worry though that there is always the potential for the symbol to become the focus, rather than the God the symbol is supposed to remind one of. Certainly, when my wife and I travelled through South America, we were struck by the number of "shrines" to Mary or the baby Jesus or various saints. These shrines really made me sad, because I believe they take the focus away from our Lord, and replace it with superstition and sometimes even worship of saints or Mary.
