Bomb Story: At the root of it all, The Hundreds started with drawing lines. In fact, that's why our motto to this day is: ""Drawing Lines!"" The earliest representations of this step-by-step formation in creating a masterpiece were the kids' tutorials. We always thought it was hilarious how six steps later, you could go from a crudely drawn circle to a complex illustration of an anthropomorphic bomb. | 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.
