Cole Aldrich is familiar with his teammates’ bold fashion choices: the hats and the scarves, the culottes and the high tops. The Knicks’ locker room is not a place for the meek.

So at this stage of Aldrich’s career, it takes something extraordinary to catch him by surprise. Enter the N.B.A., which recently released a collection of holiday-themed sweaters that defy easy description. Before a recent home game, Aldrich was shown photographs of several of them. He let it all sink in.

“Um ...” Aldrich said. “Yeah, you know, they’re unique. They’re ... wow.”

He paused. He seemed particularly taken by the Carmelo Anthony sweater, a kaleidoscope of colors and graphics, including the Knicks logo on the front and Anthony’s nickname (Melo) and jersey number (7) on the back. Not to be overlooked was the snowflake trim.

“Is there a way I can find me one?” Aldrich asked.

There is, in fact. The ugly sweaters — and yes, that is how the league is marketing them — are being sold on the league’s website and at other online stores, arena shops and Lids locations. Designs were created for 30 teams, and 10 player-specific sweaters are available. The Kobe Bryant version, with his nickname Black Mamba stitched across the back, is particularly, uh, festive.
