Campfires and Dark Woods: The Stories Behind Our Designs
Every MrBallen design is meant to feel like the start of a story told late at night. Here's what goes into them.
What does the Strange, Dark & Mysterious design show?
Three words: Strange, Dark & Mysterious, written in a looping, worn script, like a title card on an old book.
Why these words: they are the name of the podcast and the promise of every story on the channel.
What is the Bells Canyon design?
A question at the top: Do you know how to get to Bells Canyon? in yellow lettering.
A campsite below: a tent, a crackling fire, tall pines and a flashlight beam that lands on a figure standing in the trees.
A small detail: a round orange sticker sits in the corner. Look closely.
Why so much darkness?
The stories are dark: true crime, mysteries and the unexplained. The designs keep that mood without giving the ending away.
Pale ink, dark night: many designs use pale yellow and soft colours that glow like a campfire.
Do all designs come on every garment?
Yes. Every design comes on a tee, a long sleeve, a crewneck and a hoodie, plus a kids' tee, a youth crewneck and a youth hoodie.
How do I pick one?
Start with the words: if you want the name of the podcast, take the Strange, Dark & Mysterious script.
Start with the scene: if you love a story that begins at a campsite, take the Bells Canyon design.
