Ugly Christmas Sweaters have taken over everything from the NHL to NCAA teams

It’s a win-win, in my opinion.

So far, I’ve managed to obtain both a Boston Bruins ugly Christmas sweater and an Arizona Coyotes ugly Christmas sweater — but if you aren’t willing to drop seventy bucks on one of these puppies, just see if you can snag one of the free ‘ugly sweater’ giveaway shirts:

You can’t tell me you don’t like these. Ugly Christmas Sweaters > all else.
