Bomb Story: At some point, The Hundreds was in collaborative talks with the now-defunct hipster children's television program, Yo Gabba Gabba. After submitting Adam Bomb concepts, they pulled the rug out from under us, ditching our project to work with a surf brand instead. We were disappointed and this draft of Adam was laid to rest. Funny to look back on how it all played out. Yo Adam lives!| 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.
