POWELL RIPPER PATCH! Widely celebrated as the quintessential skateboard graphic, “The Ripper” burst onto the scene in 1983, thanks to the genius of Powell-Peralta’s legendary artist, V.C. Johnson. Initially gracing the windows of skate shops as a “Bones Sold Here” sticker, this iconic design quickly made the leap onto t-shirts and, before long, skateboard decks. More than just a graphic, The Ripper has become an enduring symbol of skate culture, proudly representing the Powell-Peralta brand for over three decades.
