Adam Bomb Squad

Description

Bomb Story: Much of The Hundreds' design inspiration pulls from '80s and '90s culture. The video games we played growing up employed 8-bit graphics, which had a maximum capacity of 256 colors. Soon after, the Sega Genesis and Turbo Grafx 16 consoles upped the graphics power to 16-bit, then 32-bit and so on. This one is an homage to the blocky pixel art that defined characters like Sonic the Hedgehog and Toejam & Earl. A throwback to simpler times and a reminder that while everything has changed, nothing has changed.| Background Story: In the early 2000s, all-over-prints reigned supreme in independent streetwear. The trend was a response to the boring solids and understated color-blocking of the dominant skate and urban market. It also followed the footsteps of Nigo's A Bathing Ape camos. Smaller, T-shirt-based brands like ours tapped into the ancient screen-printing techniques of roller-printing, oversized screens, and belt-printing to execute messy patterns over seams, collars, and hemlines. Of all the all-over-prints The Hundreds was responsible for during this time, Cherries was Ben's least favorite. But Bobby loved the kitschy nature, Americana flair, and the rockabilly/punk connotations.
