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.

Looks like someone has a case of the Mondays

"In the spirit of bad sweaters everywhere we decided to have a bad sweater day contest. Attached below is a picture of us. Also, can you please tell us what are sweaters really say? Thanks!  I hope we're 'bad' enough to make it on the website!! "

Bad Sweater Day Fun

Bad? Jennifer, these are an Amy Winehouse weekend. On the left, it looks like Stitch got run over by a steamroller. It tries to say “I'm in my cubist period.” What it really says: “The mold has spread.” On Miss Vogue, it's a visual aid in geology class. And that stripe in the middle is the extinction event. Nothing will survive.

the worst sheep

Hello friend,
You seem like a man who knows your sweaters--like a man who can see past the flawless crochet-work of a finely-knitted sweater to the true ugliness that lies within. It is because of your sweater-connoisseur status that I feel comfortable recommending the website baadsheep.com to you. I hope you find their collection to be as gloriously ugly as I have. Keep fighting the good fight.
