The printed sweaters are made up of everything from [well-known candy brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepsi-and-cheetos) to sports icons. Some specific images include a row of cupcakes, the interior of a vending machine and a popular picture from the movie Akira. There are over 35 designs in total, which means that there should be at least one sweater that will catch your attention.

These bold images completely take over the entire sweater, transforming those who wear them into a walking picture or billboard. Therefore, owners can display references and icons from pop culture with pride. If anyone is feeling up to it, you could even wear a different sweater for each day of the month.
