I Didn't Realize the Sweathogs were Such A Marketing Maching Back in the Day?!?
They sold everything from the sitcom Welcome Back Kotter, Tshirts, games, puzzles dolls and even office supplies! LOL I even found this button down shirt available. EGAD!

They also sold books which were WBK stories in novel form. I used to own one of those novels back in the day.

Welcome Back, Kotter even had its own comic book series from DC Comics. In those years it was rare for DC to do a series based on strictly a TV show, and when they did it was more likely to be superhero oriented (like Isis).
WBK was a HUGE success and the marketing followed right along! |

This surely brings back memories for me. I actually had a T-shirt with illustrations of their faces, and the word Sweathogs printed throughout the shirt. I was about 7 or 8, and I thought it was the coolest thing....LOL. Its funny thinking back on it, but this was really a popular show. |
