This thread is a disappointment. It sets you up to behold the majestic fuzzy multicolored wonder that is the Cosby sweater, but fails to actually come up with the goods.

If hipsters really wanted to be edgy, they would wear these instead of trucker hats. And it would help keep them warm during the winter!

It's sad how much I would like one of these sweaters after surveying the wondrous multitude Cosby sported.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 14:25 (twenty-two years ago)

It would be cool to see Bill Cosby choke Ashton Kutcher with one of his Aardvark sweaters...and then tap dance on his fucking nuts.

Sweaters finally explained

Perhaps the most iconic Cosby sweaters were those designed by Koos Van Den Akker, which were actually discovered by Cosby, rather than his costume designer. Though Mr. Huxtable wore many sweaters with wild colors and patterns, Van Den Akker’s designs raised the bar by incorporating a pastiche of different textures as well.

This makes a lot of sense to me, because Koos Van Den Akker designs the most batshit patterns for Vogue. A complete examples:
