After launching its novelty light-up sweaters last year, Forever Collectibles (FOCO) is now debuting a range of officially licensed knitted [NFL](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-x-nfl) Bluetooth-enabled ugly Christmas sweaters that play sounds.

The collectible sports sweaters give fans the chance to play fun sounds like a team's theme song, celebration dance music or another audio clip of their choosing when connected to an Android or [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-macintosh) device. The long-sleeve sweater collection represents all 32 NFL teams and each design includes an enclosed [battery-powered speaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turtlebox-gameday-series), as well as light-up details that can be controlled by a separate on/off switch.

Ahead of Christmas and just in time for the National Football League regular season, the Bluetooth-enabled sports sweaters are now available for pre-order via FOCO in sizes that range from Small to 3XL.
