The Originators at MAGIC Feb 2009
Adam Bach, the founder of urban clothing label, “The Originators”, caught up with SoJonesTV and dished out some of the line’s upcoming collection for Fall ’09. The Originators pays homage to 80’s urban, graffiti and hip hop stars by featuring authentic 80’s designs and references on their menswear and accessories.
Adam wants The Originators to grow organically, just like the hip hop movement itself. The Originators is currently honoring Kurtis Blow, Melle Mel, the Cold Crush Brothers, “Love Bug” Starski, GrandWizzard Theodore, Grand Master Caz, Prince Whipper Whip, DJ Disco Wiz, Wanda Dee, and Writers, Tracy 168 and Taki 183.

- The 85 Lakers Shout-out Tee, honoring the Lakers’ victory over Celtics in 1985
- Juice Crew Tee honoring the emcees of Queens Bridge, with the emcees’ names embedded in the design.
- Adam mentioned some “Native Tongues Tee” but didn’t show ‘em to us… which made us all curious.
But we found the Native Tongues Tee and we say it is D-O-P-E

And here’s another version of the 85 Lakers Shoutout Tee:
