Who is Skuba Skeebb?

First off, Who is The Skeebb? Skeebb stands for Skeleton, Booze, and Bomb Dude. He's our Fun, EOD infused play on Skelly from Social Distortion.   To us, Skeebb represents the fun side of our EOD community, family, and friends. Our EOD guys and gals work their assess off, and are often times either deployed or in work ups which takes them away from their family and friends. When we have our time together, we make the most of it, living it up as much as we can without getting arrested haha. We cherish those good times and memories. Our Skeebb is a symbol of this, a symbol of the EOD Family.  SKUBA SKEEBB EMERGES FROM THE DEEP We loved The Skeebb as he was, but I kept having this vision pop up of an underwater version of Skeebb holding on to a moored mine as if it was a kid holding on to a balloon. And I had wanted to make a design to represent the Underwater EOD Community. However, being a wife of a Marine Corps EOD Tech (before the Marines had their underwater EOD Team up and running), I wasn't well versed in anything dive or underwater related to EOD. So I hit up our cronies Mo Tackitt (Retired U.S. Navy EOD Diver) and Dave Moran (U.S. Marine Corps EOD Diver) to help me iron out the details of our new Skuba Skeebb.  Made a couple small revisions with the help of some other awesome EOD Divers, and wallah...Skuba Skeebb in da house!

Who is The Skeebb™?

Who or What is The Skeebb? Skeebb stands for Skeleton, Booze, and Bomb Dude. He's our Fun, EOD infused play on Skelly from Social Distortion.  We got the idea when we made unit shirts for the USMC EOD Techs over at Cherry Point, NC. The Skeleton dude they sent us to screen print on their unit apparel we felt had more of a Vietnam era feel to it. So Kurt suggested that we modernize our Skeebb a little bit.  I had Kurt put on one of his old Mich helmets, took an picture, and we drew the new Skeebb's helmet from that picture onto this logo. We also completely re-created a new skeleton logo, bomb, and booze bottle making Skeebb a whole new little dude.  To us, Skeebb represents the fun side of our EOD community, family, and friends. Our EOD guys and gals work their assess off, and are often times either deployed or in work ups which takes them away from their family and friends. When we have our time together, we make the most of it living it up as much as we can, and cherish those good times and memories. Our Skeebb is a symbol of this.  *Update* - we expounded upon our Skeebb design and created a couple new versions of him (Molotov Skeebb, NVG Skeebb, and Skuba Skeebb). Check these guys out here    *Update #2* - On June 28, 2022 our Skeebb™ logo was officially trademarked.
