Bomb Story: As important as contrasting colors are to The Hundreds design, we've also incorporated a lot of monochromatic and tonal prints throughout the brand's history. This started with the ""Nine"" T-shirt, which was offered in black-on-black and white-on-white to speak to the patrons of ours who wanted something bold and aggressive, yet understated and nuanced. | Background Story: The foundation of The Hundreds is streetwear, and at the foundation of streetwear is the graphic T-shirt. From our beginnings in the Fall of 2003, The Hundreds has relied on the tubular, open-ended cotton of a boxy, blank as our canvas. This is the same T-shirt that Bobby and Ben wore growing up, mixing and matching them 3 for $10 at the local swap meets. The independent skate brands of the 1990s, the streetwear brands of the early 2000s, all co-signed the same cut. Even when the clothing industry chased ringspun apparel or fashion silhouettes, The Hundreds held to the inspirational baseline. Our solid backgrounds are hues from the original swatch card that we built the brand off of.
