Why wouldn’t they mix the Grateful Dead’s Steal Your Face logo with The Hundreds bomb and then do an entire collection with a release date set for April 20, 2013? Here’s what Bobby says:
The Hundreds X Grateful Dead is perhaps one of our most exciting endeavors to date. The collection comprises a full range of graphic tees, tanks, specialty shirts (one raglan and one button-up), sweatshirts, a jacket, hats (one snapback and one beanie), a sneaker (limited to 100 pairs), a keychain and a sticker pack––featuring original The Hundreds graphics inspired by the band’s illustriously eclectic aesthetic, as well as a recurring tie-dye motif. View a sampling of the collection below, available 4/20.
The sneakers look nice. Anyone need a miracle? Click the link for the official word from The Hundreds.

ZoSea Media’s outsider approach to staffing their Association of Surfing Professionals tour property continues with the addition of Michael Lynch as its Chief Marketing and Revenue Officer. Lynch previously worked for Visa (for 17 years) where he “led the company’s global sponsorship marketing/management strategy and execution including activations with the Olympic and Paralympic Games, FIFA World Cup, NFL and numerous other properties.”
“Michael is a highly respected global marketer, a top influencer in the sports industry and a leader in building brands,” ASP CEO Paul Speaker said. “His extensive experience and expertise identifying and activating sponsorships with the most recognizable sports properties in the world make him the ideal candidate for the position and an invaluable asset to ASP. He will play a vital role with ASP as we continue to build our infrastructure and grow the organization to better benefit our surfers, sponsors and fans.”
It will be interesting to see how this all turns out for the ASP. One thing seems apparent–Zosea is not screwing around when it comes to thinking outside the surf industry box Follow the jump for the official word. [click to continue…]

In February 2013 big mountain snowboarder Jeremy Jones signed on as an ambassador for American Pistachio Growers. Now, backcountry impresario is adding Vermont Peanut Butter to his ambassador mix.
“I am very excited to be involved with the Vermont Peanut Butter Company from the ground floor,” Jones says. “I told Chris I probably eat more peanut butter than anyone I know, it’s a super food that keeps me alive in the mountains and at home. Chris and I share the same passion for authenticity, and being healthy, and I think what he has done with a category that has been stale for years is amazing. This is the perfect opportunity for me to use my skills to help grow The VTPB Endorsed Athlete Program, a challenge that I will take on like any big mountain.”
This is one more reminder that professional athletes don’t have to sell out to companies promoting poison that makes kids fat and gives them diabetes 2. Thanks, Mr. Jones. For the official word, follow the jump. [click to continue…]
