“Following up its recent collaboration with Crooks & Castles, Us Versus Them puts out another video, this time for the release of its collaboration with fellow West Coast brand, Black Scale. Working from a concept created by Mega and Us Versus Them designer Graham Nystrom, the brand’s applied a signature hand drawn style, pulling inspiration from the cryptic crests and symbolism of old European architecture. Aiming to keep the true meaning of the symbolism cloudy, the graphic is centered around the Ourobouros, an ancient symbol of a serpent eating itself, which is said to represent death and rebirth, and the phrase “La Guerra Clandestina”, meaning The Secret War, lends a heavy feeling to the project.”

The tees and crewnecks can be found at the Black Scale flagship store and Versus stores.
