What’s Being Built: “Scumbag Nation” T-shirts…a true classic…

“What’s Being Built” has returned for another round, starting off the month of September with a venerable classic. When I designed the “Scumbag Nation” T-shirt, it was sort of a half-serious play on what has now become a widely recognized and unbelievably popular motto for our crew and customers the world around. (Props to DJ Intel for coining the Scumbag Nation, and yours truly for the tag line.) The original “Scumbag Nation” T-shirt was re-released in Build Your Own format, and it keeps on bangin’. Check out a few colors that customers created over the past week, and build your own in thousands of colourways for both men and women.

L to R: Black with Light Blue + Fuchsia; Red with White + Black.

L to R: Purple with Fuchsia + Goldenrod; Kelly Green with Lime Green + White.
