The story

  • Not so long ago, my friend Kevin cleaned out his wardrobe, which, due to his pack rat nature, was crammed with clothes he hadn't worn in more than a decade. Among the discarded were 25 sweaters that can generously be described as "hideous." Or, as one critic put it, "Bill Cosby would not wear this." Kevin's defense? "I worked at Marshalls in North Olmsted, Ohio, during high school and got a 15 percent discount. It was cold. It was the late '80s." The horror, the horror. Click here to see them, but be warned. Your eyes. The burning.

We declare the 2008 Bad Sweater Season officially open

FlynnFlynn, a fan and friend of Bad Sweater Guy, kicks off the 2008 Bad Sweater Season with his "Little House on the Scary" offering. It looks like the Schoolhouse Rock version of what happens after the glaciers melt and submerge  us all under a few hundred feet of water.

Do you have a Bad Sweater? Do you know someone who does? Of course you do. Send it to BadSweaterGuy@aol.com and we'll put it up here for the world to mock. We'll take pictures of sweaters found in the wild or photos from your Bad Sweater Parties. Let's get cracking, people. There are a lot of Bad Sweaters out there, and we need you to help us bring them to justice.
