BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR, AND KNOCK
There's only one who knocks.
The Behold, I Stand at the Door, and Knock Hoodie from Straight Bible takes a famous TV villain line, "I am the one who knocks," and hands it back to its original owner. Long before television, Jesus said it first in Revelation 3:20: "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." (KJV)
The front print shows a bearded, long-haired Jesus figure in a pork-pie hat and dark sunglasses, drawn in bold yellow linework on black. Around him are the Hebrew words יהוה (YHWH), אל (El), משיח (Mashiach, Messiah) and שלום (Shalom), with two crosses, olive branches, a lamb, a crown of thorns and torn fragments of Greek New Testament text. Below him, the headline reads BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR, AND KNOCK in heavy distressed type, over the periodic-table-style Straight Bible logo and REVELATION 3:20.
It's a parody, but the message isn't. He's standing at the door, and the door opens from your side.

About the Verse
Revelation 3:20 closes Jesus' letter to the church in Laodicea (Revelation 3:14–22). That church was "neither cold nor hot," comfortable and self-sufficient. Christ doesn't force the door. He knocks, speaks and waits for anyone who hears his voice to open, and he promises to come in and share a meal with them. It's one of the clearest invitations in Scripture, and it's addressed to people who already think they're fine.
