Big. Mitten. Energy.

LeedsDesign/Etsy

Bernie Sanders knows how to be a meme. It doesn’t take much, considering his strong Brooklyn accent, his hilarious Jewish affectivity, and his all around no-fucks-given attitude. But the best meme yet may have come out of this week’s inauguration, when the Vermont Senator was caught sitting cross-legged and bundled up in a bulky coat and handmade mittens to brave the cold Washington D.C. air, looking like the inauguration was another errand on his to-do list. A photo of Sanders, taken by Brendan Smialowski for Getty, quickly became a viral meme, and now the Bernie meme has become merch, as people make T-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs, and other things to celebrate the iconic former presidential candidate. These are the best Bernie-meme products we found.

Inauguration Bernie Sanders Mittens Hoodie

But now it's revamped with the addition of the cozy mittens he was donning during the inauguration. Fun fact: they were made by a Vermont school teacher who says she's run out of inventory since being flooded with requests after Sanders's photo went viral.
