"Rick and Morty" is known for its hilarious Christmas episodes so it was only a matter of time before "Rick and Morty" Christmas sweaters showed up in the universe. Fans of the Emmy Award-winning Adult Swim series can now bring their favorite time- and space-traveling duo to their next holiday party with a wide range of festive, fantastic and hilarious sweaters.
"Rick and Morty" Christmas sweaters have a more limited range than most branded Christmas sweaters. Though the TV series features universes full of characters and even some alternate versions of characters, most of the available Christmas sweaters only include Rick, Morty or both Rick and Morty. Fans of Beth, Jerry, Summer, Mr. Meeseeks or any of the other memorable protagonists will unfortunately not be able to celebrate the holiday season with them.
Fans of "Rick and Morty" know that the series is intended for mature audiences. Most episodes are rated TV-14 when they premiere on Adult Swim. This means that "Rick and Morty" Christmas sweaters are intended for adults as well. If you're looking for a Christmas sweater to wear to an office party or a family gathering with younger children, these will probably not be appropriate for you.
"Rick and Morty" Christmas sweaters come in colors different from the traditional Christmas palette of red and green. The majority of them have black as their primary color. This may be to avoid clashes with the established style of the characters: Putting Rick's blue hair and Morty's yellow shirt on a green Christmas sweater wouldn't look very good. The darker choices are better visually, but it's worth noting that your sweater won't come in festive colors.
"Rick and Morty" is known for its irreverent and inappropriate sense of humor. Fans should get a sweater that is just as entertaining and weird. Several "Rick and Morty" Christmas sweaters have popular phrases from the show featured on them. There are also designs that harken back to certain episodes. "Rick and Morty" is far from boring, so your Christmas sweater shouldn't be either.
The "Rick and Morty" characters are drawn in a very distinct art style and your Christmas sweater should reflect that. Look for sweaters where the characters look similar to the way they're seen on the TV show. Make sure the characters are front and center on the sweater so that they don't appear squished or distorted when you're wearing it.
With the rising popularity of "Rick and Morty," there are an increasing number of knockoff products available. Fans should look closely at product descriptions and images to confirm that they're buying an official "Rick and Morty" Christmas sweater. The most popular officially licensed brand is Ripple Junction.
A "Rick and Morty" Christmas sweater is fairly expensive for holiday apparel, with most of them priced between $40-$60.
A. "Rick and Morty" Christmas sweaters are generally not appropriate for younger children, as they're based on adult-oriented animation. Most of them depict mature subjects including nudity, drinking and profane language. Parents should decide if a "Rick and Morty" Christmas sweater is appropriate for older children and teenagers.
A. There are some, despite the fact that most "Rick and Morty" Christmas sweaters don't even include any of the TV show's female characters. It's also worth pointing out that the cut on some sweaters is unisex, meaning that both men and women can wear them. Check out product descriptions to get full size and style information.
