Hey Microsoft! You could possibly print cash with this vacation sweater concept

The vacations finish in only a handful of days. In principle, I ought to not be in search of vacation sweaters, however partly as a result of extra of my colleagues becoming a member of in on festive put on, I’ve been eager to broaden my assortment. However I’m so dissatisfied with my choices. Factor is, I feel Microsoft may repair this drawback for me.

SkiFree vacation sweater.

Microsoft is completed for the yr with vacation sweaters, positive. It launched a nostalgia assortment with nods to early Home windows icons, Zune, and the OG Xbox. However I don’t assume these transfer the needle fairly the identical manner as the sport all of us wished to beat however by no means may. (And technically, by no means will.) I wager it could possibly be supplied yr spherical and it will nonetheless promote.

(On the very least, how a few “Holidays in July” drop? For these of us who’re busy with work in November and December and wish an opportunity at such restricted version gear?)

Anyway, simply image this: a white sweater, with darkish blue ribbing for coloration distinction on the bands. Zoomed in a bit so you possibly can really see extra of the characters and surroundings. And the second captured can be the Abominable Snow Monster wolfing down our poor skier. With that face that also haunts desires.

You’ll be able to’t really put a value on nostalgia, however we working schlubs do have budgets that create an higher restrict on what’s affordable. If a SkiFree vacation sweater dropped at typical vacation sweater costs, I’d chew. I wouldn’t even be as looking forward to a Solitaire ugly sweater (the place you’re watching the playing cards do their falling animation), and I’ve robust sentimental attachment to that sport.

SkiFree however? I discussed this to a different PCWorld staffer and the reply was an instantaneous sure. [Make that three of us – ed.] Our bank cards are on the prepared.
