Bomb Story: Before (and hopefully after) we became friends, Top Chef winner Michael Voltaggio was a big fan of our brand. So when he launched a sandwich concept (that was packaged in paper bags) tied to his famed LA-based ink restaurant, he asked Bobby Hundreds to design the logo in the vein of our mascot Adam Bomb. Over time, the collaboration became the logo for the restaurant itself, albeit altered a bit. There’s a much greater story here, but we can’t get into it. It involves tattoos, miscommunication, and a tiny bit of regret. But in the end, we both won.| 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.
