Show off your love for the Red Hot Chili Peppers in effortlessly cool bucket hats and graphic tees, courtesy of a new collaboration between streetwear brand Noah NY and the iconic rock band.

The lineup dons imagery and album artwork from the band’s inception in 1983 through to their 1989 album “Mother’s Milk,” pulling from the surf and skate culture that abounded alongside alt-indie music throughout the ’80s. “I’ve decided that I will not try to convince others to be RHCP fans nor will I be overly nostalgic,” wrote Brendon Babenzian, the founder of Noah NY, in a statement. “Let’s just call this one person’s history with a particular band.” Babzenian has been an avid fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers since he was first introduced to them at 12 years old, and wanted to create a collection that spoke to the musicians’ boundary-breaking approach to style and art. “Something about what they were doing sonically made sense to me — at the time I didn’t know why and didn’t care, I just loved the way it moved.” Highlights of the collection include a California Golden Bear Varsity Jacket, graphic tees printed with images from the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ earliest albums and a tee dedicated in memory to founding member Hillel Slovak.
