The collaboration was first teased on Twitter, when Haag posted both his logo and the logo of the 100 Thieves. The images were posted on top of an attention-grabbing, vibrant green backdrop. Accompanying the photo was a caption that included three emojis, each of which elicited a sense of mystery and anticipation. While the theme of the line is unknown, users are suspecting something related to money, as Haag's logo 'Nadeshot' features a dollar sign in place of the 'S.'
