Oh my goodness, have you seen the selection of Christmas jumpers this year? They are absolutely hideous! How are we supposed to get into the holiday spirit without a good old ugly jumper? It just won't feel like Christmas without them, especially for us gamers. But the real question is, who will buy one for us?
With the holiday season quickly approaching, it's time to start thinking about gifts for our gamer friends and family members. Do we go for the Game of the Year winner, Astro Bot? Or maybe an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription for the new Indiana Jones game? But let's be real, the best gift for any gamer is a gaming themed Christmas jumper. It's the perfect way to show off your love for the season and your favorite video game. Sure, there were some somewhat fashionable options on Christmas Jumper Day, but we all know the uglier, the better.
To help make your shopping easier, we've scoured retailers for all the gaming themed Christmas jumpers they have to offer. And let me tell you, we've found some real gems - or should I say, disasters. These are the best (worst) ones we could find, and boy, are they something.
We've discovered that many geek-focused retailers have dedicated sections for Christmas jumpers this time of year. Just Geek is one of them, but you better act fast because any orders placed after this week won't arrive until after Christmas. They have a great selection of jumpers featuring popular movies and TV franchises, but the real standout for gamers has to be this Xbox jumper. It's so green, you could easily lose your Brussels sprouts on it. And the best part? It's currently on sale for £19.99.
We all know green is the color of Xbox, but this might be a bit much. But hey, it's perfect for those who want to really show off their love for the console. And if you're brave enough, they also have a Sonic The Hedgehog jumper for the same price. Maybe you can wear it to the cinema when the third movie comes out this week.
For all you Pokémon fans, Zavvi has a variety of Christmas jumpers featuring different Pokémon. You have the classic picks like Pikachu and Charizard, but the most eye-catching one has to be this Mew jumper for £39.99. It's definitely a bit garish, but we can't resist a good pun. "All I want for Christmas is Mew" - genius.
But let's not forget about GeekCore. Their range of Christmas jumpers is, shall we say, truly horrendous (in the best way possible). They must be popular because most of their jumpers are already sold out. But we have to mention this Legend of Zelda jumper that looks like something your grandma would knit for you and make you wear all day. It's a shame it's sold out, but they do have a Pikachu in a Father Christmas hat for the same price.
Younger Minecraft fans might actually enjoy this next one. It's a patterned jumper and a bit on the pricey side at £44.99, but it's perfect for those who love the game. And let's be real, we all know at least one person who is obsessed with Minecraft.
Our favorite range has to be from Merchoid because they actually label their jumpers as "ugly Christmas jumpers." And boy, are they ugly. In the best way possible, of course. Our top pick is this PlayStation jumper for £38.99, and it's almost sold out. Seems like everyone else loves it too.
But the one that really caught our eye is this Pac-Man jumper. It's shaped like a Christmas tree, but the design is a classic Pac-Man maze with ghosts and pellets. It's like a themed level from the game, but in jumper form. And it's also £38.99 and almost sold out. Better hurry!
So, if you have some extra cash in your Christmas budget and know a gamer who would appreciate an ugly Christmas jumper, you can't go wrong with any of these options. It's time to celebrate the holiday season like it's 1995 and we're playing Ridge Racer for the first time.
