Bomb Story: Repeating patterns, including animal prints, are key to The Hundreds branding. We've consistently returned to leopard print over the years because of its ties to classic Americana, punk music, '80s throwbacks, and high fashion. The Frankly series imagined leopard print in a series of oddball colors that lined up with The Hundreds' aesthetic.| 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.
