The Hundreds Official Adam Bomb Squad NFT Collectibles

Adam Bomb Squad

Bomb Story: Much of streetwear's origins boil down to the graphic T-shirt. The most notable aspect of the art is its roots in parody and commentary. There's a David vs. Goliath attitude that comes with stealing a familiar logo, especially one that's corporate, and tweaking it to serve a new message. Even The Hundreds' ""Bar"" is a take on a football team's typography. Although Andy Warhol wasn't a parody artist per se, his Soup Cans are iconic for interpreting a commercial, manufactured product as painted canvases. In fact, like NFT collectibles, Warhol delivered 32 Soup Cans (one for every flavor) to the dealer Irving Blum in 1962. Not coincidentally, there are 32 Screen Adams, but we only curated a select few for the ABS collectibles.| Background Story: 
In the early 2000s, all-over-prints reigned supreme in independent streetwear. The trend was a response to the boring solids and understated color-blocking of the dominant skate and urban market. It also followed the footsteps of Nigo's A Bathing Ape camos. Smaller, T-shirt-based brands like ours tapped into the ancient screen-printing techniques of roller-printing, oversized screens, and belt-printing to execute messy patterns over seams, collars, and hemlines. Of all the all-over-prints The Hundreds was responsible for during this time, Cherries was Ben's least favorite. But Bobby loved the kitschy nature, Americana flair, and the rockabilly/punk connotations.
