Bomb Story: The Hundreds' storytelling is centered around nostalgia and historical references. The designs can also be a commentary on how things were and where things ended up. One example is the contrast between the off-set printing of yesteryear and the digital printing of today. We just think it's funny that we digitally designed this graphic to emulate offset printing. | Background Story:
Horizontal stripes, especially of the yarn-dyed variety, are a staple of The Hundreds' collection. Earlier on, they were derived from the surf knits and beachgoer patterns that graced the backs of Californians in the 1980s. Examples include Hang Ten, OP, Quiksilver, and Gotcha. In the following decade, independent skate brands and rave companies capitalized on stripes across boxy, baggy tops. Whether they're fatter stripes across neighborhood-sanctioned Charlie Browns or pinstripes across suiting or a baseball jersey, The Hundreds' stripes speak to a spectrum of subcultures.
