It’s Us Versus Them, Man

California boutique Versus has released some incredible new designs for their Us Versus Them in-house line. Opting to put out a strong collection when the time is right rather than forcing designs out each season, I’ve always been impressed with the illustrative detail in each Us Versus Them design. Check out the tees below!

Here is the iconic Screaming Hand made famous by Jim Phillips. I’m not totally sure about the commentary being made by silencing the hand with a switch blade though. I have a feeling this might stir up some controversy. Either way, the recreation of the graphic would do Mr. Phillips proud, even if the concept is a little sketchy.

This is the back graphic to the Riverside Miscreants shirt. The color scheme on the purple tee is totally dope, and the others look pretty strong as well. My only gripe here is that it seems fairly similar to a Cleveland Indians parody that The Hundreds made several years ago. But, this doesn’t appear to have the same tone and it has been awhile so I guess this gets a pass.

This is a pretty gnarly design that your girl will be decidedly not stoked on. I mean, I’m even a little dicey on a snake eating a centipede. Snakes I can handle, but centipedes are gross and totally deserve to get eaten by snakes, even when they come in sick color schemes like those above. If you can’t make it into the shop, Versus has made a limited amount of tees available online.
