Bomb Story: As far as we can remember, and we could be wrong here, Drop Adam never made it as an official T-shirt graphic for The Hundreds. In fact, we don't even remember the inspiration or reasoning behind the artwork. Our only thought is that this started off as part of a larger design that got scratched. We debated on including him in the collection, but he's so different, so odd, that we feel like he can make his home in the Adam Bomb Squad.| 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.
