Green Day Mass Hysteria Boardshorts
Billabong and Green Day have been working on a Design Coop for the release of a special limited edition, The Green Day Mass Hysteria Boardshort for 2010.
Surfing and Rock Music have gone hand in hand since day one and the cooperation with rock bands and musicians have been raised to an art at Billabong.
Previous collaborations have inlcuded Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Foo Fighters, Donavon Frankenreiter or more recently with Metallica.
Like with the other bands, the connection with Billabong is strong with Green Day not only because the band has been popular in surf films soundtracks over years but also because of Green Day involvement in the boardshort development.
“We enjoy working on creative projects and this coop has been a lot of fun,”
says Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day.
A grey and black color palette of bold plaid with Green Day’s signature logo overlaid fit the image of the band perfectly, tying the rock & roll attitude championed by Green Day and the loose functional fashion of the surf culture.
While the Mass Hysteria boardshort is yet worn by team riders from Billabong across Europe, this Green Day limited edition will get extra buzz amongst the Green Day fanbase and exclusiveness seekers as Billabong is about to promote the coop massively online while the band will be touring in Europe all month of June (see below for tour dates) .
