As to why designer Pleun van Oosterhout decided to experiment wiht Calve Punk? He shares, "Punks are known as trouble makers and people who don't care. Well thats true. But that doesn't mean they aren't part of this community so I decided to involve them more." The Calve Punk logo has been spray painted on in black, creating a dark look punks will gravitate towards.
