Microsoft’s latest ugly sweaters are selling out fast

‘Tis the season for deliberately ugly(?) corporate merchandising, and Microsoft has options, including a new ugly holiday sweater from the Windows team.

In fact, Microsoft has three ugly sweaters to choose from, including one based on Windows, a Zune sweater (!), and an Xbox holiday sweater – for those who want to join in on the festive holidays, as the kids say. All three are available from Microsoft’s retail store, with prices starting at $59.99 for a pre-ordered Xbox Holiday Sweater. Microsoft charges $79.95 for the other two sweaters, which can be purchased now.

Microsoft’s Artifact Christmas Sweater certainly captures the “ugly sweater” vibe as the orange, green and blue pattern surrounds famous icons from the past and present: a Minecraft creeper, Clippy, an Internet Explorer logo, a Minesweeper flag and, of course, because it is in everything else, the Copilot logo.

Microsoft’s Zune sweater features a festive brown (?) color, with the famous, fairly dead Zune logo on it. Once again, the sweater uses orange highlights to complement the pattern.

If you’re looking for something flashier that you could wear to a cheesy social occasion, the Xbox sweater is actually quite attractive. Naturally, the two dominant colors are black and green, with a pattern reminiscent of snow falling at night.

Obviously, all the sweaters could sell out quickly, so grab them while you can. Seriously, Microsoft’s Artifact Sweater seems to be sold out already! Sizes range from extra small (XS) to 4XL. I’ve bought a few ugly sweaters from Microsoft before when they benefited charities like Girls Who Code. (Not this year, apparently.) In my own experience, the size runs small.

Players can also grab a Master Chief robe for $69.95, although it appears Microsoft only has 25 for sale. it’s Halo-themed products. Act quickly!
