Pink Punch-Out!! hoodie leaves me wordless -- well not quite photo

I am literally livid with myself for not knowing that these existed before today. Evidently Nintendo was giving away pink Punch-Out!! hoodies just like Little Mac wears at the Nintendo World Store in New York yesterday. Now I live in DC, but had I known they were doing this I would have driven all the way up and back in one day to secure one. I didn't know awesome was a fabric until I saw this.

The hoodies went out to winners of the Punch-Out!! challenge at the New York store and if I ever see someone wearing it on the street I'm going to rip it off their backs shouting like a mad man. At the moment the only person I know of who has one is Brian Crecente, meaning he'll need to watch his back at E3. 

To all those naysayers out there who don't think men should wear pink I offer you this: Little Mac knocked out Mike Tyson and every cultural stereotype known to man. Little Mac wears pink. Nuff said.

I have one as well (came with our review copy of Punch-Out!!), and now I don't have to take a picture of myself in it. Because there's this. Awesome.

@Nick. Please take a picture of yourself wearing it. I am so jealous that I don't have one of these, they look so sexy.

If you guys were having a picture contest to win Punch Out, I was going to buy a pink jogging suit and run through the neighborhood while my friend was on a bike. But alas, I might have to buy a jogging suit just to play the game though.

What about the Red sweaters to give to your favorite bike-stealing overweight black friend?

I do believe that African American gentleman has mistaken my bike for his own!

I would so wear this. You have to be pretty insecure to not be able to wear pink.

It'd be perfect if it weren't for the fact that it has a punch out label on the front. Take it out, and I'd buy it.

@Chronic Logic

What stops you from buying a plain pink hoodie then?

I would hurt someone to get me a pink hoodie like that, man it's so fucking great, would wear it with pride (except you have to combine my extra pounds+ pink to realize how it would look on me).
