Just in time for the 2021 holidays, Microsoft is releasing an ugly sweater that throws the style clock back to 1990.
Continuing its recent tradition of celebrating its vintage software, the tech giant is selling a $75 sweater with a “Microsoft Minesweeper” design.
The video game, which involves uncovering squares on a grid and avoiding getting blown up by mines, was first released as part of the Microsoft Entertainment Pack 1 in 1990 and included in the standard install of Windows 3.1 in 1992.
The blue and white sweater is emblazoned with a tree-shaped “Minesweeper” game screen on the front and large mines on the sleeves.
Sales of the sweater will support AbleGamers, a charity that helps combat social isolation, foster inclusive communities, and improve the quality of life for people with disabilities. Microsoft says it is contributing $100,000 to the organization.
In its “Holiday Soft-Wear Shop,” Microsoft is also offering Windows-game inspired virtual backgrounds so you can bring a nostalgic feel to your next Teams chat.
In 2019, Microsoft busted out a Windows XP ugly sweater.
