. . When you care enough to give the very worst, a California clothier has pro and college team sweaters for you.
In-your-face garments from Ugly Teams include a pair of Tigers sweaters as ugly as a 61-73 record. They're a way to stay warm this fall while showing you don't take the team seriously, or to tease a frustrated fan with a gag gift.
"Being a fan isn't always pretty," says the Palo Alto company's slogan. (Tell us about it, right?)
These unfashionable bad boys are $70 each, plus shipping.
Someone must be buying because the crew neck style on the right above is sold out. The other acrylic sweater costs $70, with free shipping if you enter this coupon code: DEADLINEDETROIT. (The online merchant is taking pre-orders for shipping by Sept. 30.)
But wait, there's more: If you want to show distaste or warped loyalty for the Lions, Pistons or Wings, Ugly Teams has your arms and torso covered.
The styles at right are just four of those available for $70, including a Wings hoodie and a Lions vest.
And if the Spartans or Wolverines are your thing, or your gift recipient's, the West Coast thread peddlers offer two UM choices (crew neck and vest) and four MSU styles (crew necks, vest and $120 cardigan).
All items come in five sizes from small to XXL. Ugly Teams suggests they're are "perfect for ugly Christmas sweater parties, pub crawls, ugly sweater runs, family holiday photos, tailgating and sporting events."
Here's what we suggest (or dare, actually): Post a photo of yourself in one of these at our Facebook or Twitter page and we'll share it.
