There is no television personality more wholesome than Mister Fred Rogers. Fred Rogers was the mastermind behind Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, the ever-relaxing educational children’s show. Over several decades, Rogers taught generations of children about just about everything. The series was informative but comforting and, in many ways, considered a “safe space” for kids to learn and grow. There were a lot of wholesome aspects to the series, but the most recognizable segment was Mister Rogers’ familiar clothing change. Each episode, he’d come into his home and change from a suit jacket and dress shoes into sneakers and a brightly colored cardigan to welcome in a newly relaxed vibe. The origin of those zip-up sweaters, which seem so uniquely connected to Mister Rogers, might be more wholesome than the man himself and his show combined.
