If you’ve been on Zwift in the past few days, you probably noticed Christmas is in the air. Santa is flying around Watopia, the trees are decorated, and ugly Christmas sweater kits are showing up in the peloton!
Finding Your Ugly Christmas Sweater
Everyone has the ugly sweater kit in their Zwift closet–it’s just hidden behind the default grey Zwift kit! While Zwifting, hit “T” on the keyboard (or visit Menu>Garage), then click “Jersey” to change your top.
Click the default Zwift kit (grey with orange Z), then dash away, dash away, dash away down the road!
Forgot about the holiday season access to an ugly Christmas sweater.
Useful to see idiot-proof instructions on how to wear it.
if nothing else, it adds contrast to other available sweater kits. I probably missed out on some, but remember six:
+ Level 68 kits: Alpe du knit: (variants: Evergreen, Cozy, and Ice)
+ 2024 Holiday Fondo Kits: (variants: Orange, Green and Brown)
Plus, there was the “imposter sweater”: the Zwift Groovy Tile Kit (Big Spin ride) I first I thought it was supposed to be an ugly sweater, not an ugly tile.
😅
I think it’s quite a nice sweater!
Appreciate any disagreement with me on what an ugly jersey is. Ugly/not-ugly is a non-provably-correct aesthetic choice.
It would be quite boring if everyone selected from the same narrow subset of jerseys I choose from. It’s more interesting when riders select distinct jerseys.
(Obviously not applicable to group rides, where participation and shared short-term-goal are indicated by wearing the same jersey).
