Adam Bomb Squad

Description

Bomb Story: Much of streetwear's origins boil down to the graphic T-shirt. The most notable aspect of the art is its roots in parody and commentary. There's a David vs. Goliath attitude that comes with stealing a familiar logo, especially one that's corporate, and tweaking it to serve a new message. Even The Hundreds' ""Bar"" is a take on a football team's typography. Although Andy Warhol wasn't a parody artist per se, his Soup Cans are iconic for interpreting a commercial, manufactured product as painted canvases. In fact, like NFT collectibles, Warhol delivered 32 Soup Cans (one for every flavor) to the dealer Irving Blum in 1962. Not coincidentally, there are 32 Screen Adams, but we only curated a select few for the ABS collectibles.| 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.
