I was looking at a member's profile and noticed that she had posted what appears to be a diagram of Jewish priest's vestments.
Do you notice any similarities between what she has posted and what our Orthodox priests wear?

I was told by my priest that many of the items that our priests wear come from the times of St. Constantine and the Byzantine Emperors. However, it is obvious that we are showing our Jewish roots too.
Notice the white robe which the Jewish priest wears underneath his priestly garments? Doesn't it look similar to the one our Orthodox Priests wear (symbolizing a baptismal garment).
I have not taken any Orthodox seminary classes, so any positive input would be appreciated. Thanks.
