The Jack in the Box x The Hundreds merch range has been launched in celebration of their 75th collaboration anniversary in time for the World Cup. The merch range puts vintage soccer-inspired accessories in the spotlight including retro jerseys, collectible headwear and more that all put a West Coast aesthetic in focus. The entire range is debuting now online, but is a limited time offering that will only be around while supplies last.
VP of Brand Marketingat Jack in the Box Sheena Dougher commented on the Jack in the Box x The Hundreds merch range saying, "The response to our first collaboration with The Hundreds made it clear that fans are hungry for new ways to connect with us. This next drop lets us tap into a community rooted in passion, identity and self-expression. Soccer culture has always had this incredible connection to style and fandom, and we loved bringing that together with Jack’s signature irreverence and The Hundreds’ point of view."
