The Colors of Mister Rogers' Cardigan Sweaters, 1969-2001

Chart of Mr. Rogers sweater colors

Using data from The Neighborhood Archive, Owen Phillips charted the color of every sweater Mister Rogers wore on his PBS television program from 1979 to 2001.

Some sweaters were worn once and then never again, like the neon blue cardigan Rogers wore in episode 1497. Others, like his harvest gold sweaters, were part of Rogers' regular rotation and then disappeared. And then there were the unusual batch of black and olive green sweaters Rogers wore exclusively while filming the "Dress-Up" episodes in 1991.

Update: Phillips updated the chart to include sweater colors all the way back to 1969. (via laura olin)
