# Unimpressed Animal Sweaters This Grumpy Cat Sweater from 1991inc is the Curmudgeon Even By Ashley Noelle Lesiak | Published 2014-01-19 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grumpy-cat-sweater-digital References: [svpply](https://svpply.com/item/2976742/Pink_Grumpy_Cat_Sweater) This digital Grumpy Cat sweater is as adorable as it is hilarious. Grumpy is a cat that not long ago became quite famous on the Internet for having a perpetually long face. Her real name is Tardar Sauce, and her owner says that she is actually a very happy kitty, but her funny face is caused by feline dwarfism. On this Grumpy Cat sweater is a digital print of a famous photo of Tardar. The garment is from label 1991inc. The picture is actually from a Time magazines piece on the frowning feline and shows her being held up high by a disembodied hand. It is digitally printed onto this sweet sweater. That cat looks visibly unimpressed while being held in front of a pink background. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Digital Print Sweaters:** The trend of digital print sweaters allows for highly detailed and eye-catching designs, creating opportunities for personalized and unique fashion. - **Internet-famous Animal Apparel:** The rise of internet-famous animals like Grumpy Cat presents opportunities for businesses to capitalize on their popularity by creating merchandise featuring these beloved animals. - **Emotionally Expressive Clothing:** Clothing that features the emotions or expressions of animals, like the Grumpy Cat sweater, taps into the consumer desire for self-expression and humor in fashion. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore digital print technology to offer customers a wide range of unique designs in sweaters and other garments. - **Pet Merchandise:** The pet merchandise industry can create a line of apparel featuring internet-famous animals to cater to pet owners who want to show their love for these popular pets. - **Humor and Novelty:** The humor and novelty industry can create emotionally expressive clothing, such as the Grumpy Cat sweater, to appeal to consumers looking for quirky and amusing fashion items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Conjoined Holiday Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suavitel-cuddle-crewneck.md) - [Millennium Operating System Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windows-ugly-sweater-bliss-edition.md) - [Holiday-Centric Pet Outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petsmart-2.md) - [Tea-Themed Christmas Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pg-tips-christmas-jumper.md) - [Humorous Cat Collectables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tired-cats-gachapon.md) - [Retro Tech Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-holiday-sweater.md) - [Lovable Cartoon Cat Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-21-and-sanrio.md) - [Limited-Edition Cat Dad Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-dad-hoodies.md) - [Interactive Holiday Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillsbury-holiday-sweater.md)
