Bomb Story: Often, Adam Bombs are parodies or flips of outside cultural touchpoints. But sometimes, they are self-referential and meta. Block Adam is an appropriation of an earlier The Hundreds graphic from the 2000s called ""Blocks,"" in which ""The Hundreds"" is written out in cascading block letters. | 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.
