Lew Blum Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 This is an ode to one of my favorite civilian graffiti symbols. Sometimes referred to as the Stussy S, i always called it the metal S, as it reminded me of Megadeth letters. This bad boy is right up there with a peace sign, the wu tang symbol and a poorly proportioned weed leaf of things that are found spray painted on bridges in America. I cant tell you how many of these i saw scrawled on trapper keepers and bookbags throughout my childhood. What did you call this thing? Do you even know what im talking about? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

`Melinoe Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I used to draw those all the time on my folders when I was in 5th grade. Funny how I larned it from the white suburban kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew Blum Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 yeah i didnt draw that. Thats some random image i found. The ones we drew were more proper. You started off with the first 3 lines longer. This, like the 3 dimensional box, was good because even people who couldnt draw could follow the formula and make it out of straight lines unless you were a complete dunce.

Thought_Monster Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 It's a Latin southerner "s." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojangles Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I was gonna' make this thread before but didn't know what to call it. Around my way, we called it the 'hood S, because all the lil' ghetto kids would draw it in chalk all over the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Blum Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Yeah, theres never a uniform name for it, and you can never verbailize it to someone, but as soon as you draw it theyre like "oh fuck, that thing was all over the bathrooms in 3rd grade!!"

Lew Blum Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Anybody know where these came from? Stussy S seems to be the most common name, but wifey says she never saw that thing on any stussy gear and neither have I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francis buxton Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 We always called it "the west side s", I only just heard of it as "the stussy s" from my boy from philly so I just assumed thats what it was in philly. My room mate got a tattoo of one like 6 months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnarly Sheen Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Oh no my friend... it was. I think i had a hat back in 6th grade with something similar looking. Back when kids were sporting YAGA and all sorts of confused ass clothing lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
work yr soul Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 i can confirm that the 'S' reached Europe sometime around fuck knows when... some people here call it the 'Shazzer S' cos they are usually found in shitty neighbourhoods and thus are possibly drawn by teenage white girls called Sharon... yeah. i don't think theres been any teenage girls called Sharon since the early 90s though... wonk saggin on that sugar glider!
