Bomb Story: Much of The Hundreds' design inspiration pulls from '80s and '90s culture. The video games we played growing up employed 8-bit graphics, which had a maximum capacity of 256 colors. Soon after, the Sega Genesis and Turbo Grafx 16 consoles upped the graphics power to 16-bit, then 32-bit and so on. This one is an homage to the blocky pixel art that defined characters like Sonic the Hedgehog and Toejam & Earl. A throwback to simpler times and a reminder that while everything has changed, nothing has changed.| 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.
