Bomb Story: There are a few half-toned Adam Bombs in the Squad, but this was one of the first. The reprographic technique of half-toning has been popular throughout various generations of art, from the early screen-printing and lithographs of Warhol to the Photoshop edits of early-2000s streetwear. Half-toning was a convenient solution for many designers who were utilizing low-resolution online photographs to stretch across T-shirts. Instead of getting a pixelated result, a halftone filter broke a blurry photo into thousands of sharp, focused dots.| Background Story: Our earliest adopters know JAGS as The Hundreds' signature pattern, in the vein of Louis Vuitton's monogram or a Burberry plaid. Bobby taught himself how to design graphics through the Adobe Suite. His first Photoshop ""doodle"" was taking the pen tool and making these jagged shapes. Years later, we would coin this repeating print on clothing, leather belts and wallets, BMX bikes, snowboards, and marketing materials as ""JAGS."" Although still used across the collection, JAGS sums up the 2000s era of The Hundreds.
