The term Band of Outsiders comes from the 1964 Godard film, Bande à part, which translates as "to do something apart from the group," or, more colloquially, "band of outsiders." Designer Scott Sternberg settled on the name, in part because he identified with "the literal interpretation of rebellion and solitude, and the contradiction within the phrase itself as one doesn’t think of outsiders being part of a community."
