Eight-Oh-Who?

Ok this is a very hard question and I'd be very surprised/pleased if anyone knew the answer.

You know the snowboard shop 802? Does anyone remember who it was that made the shirts (or stickers) saying "Eight Oh Who?" I want to say it was Darkside, but I can't remember for sure. This was only a few years ago, but I seem to have left my memory somewhere back at the UVM dorms between a bong and a bubbler.

Does anyone remember any part of the back-story behind this?

darkside made a sticker that said eight oh who? but then 802 decided it would be funny to make the same sticker, confuse a bunch of people and get double sticker exposure. the guys that owned 802 run fited in burlington now, im pretty sure.
