Standard United: Can A Hollywood Hotel HAVE A Cooler ‘Soccer’ Strip?

In Blog on May 22, 2010 at 3:14 pm

Warning: this blog is going to be extremely self indulgent.

If you’re working in Hollywood, Los Angeles, there is only one hotel to stay in, and that’s The Standard. If you’re holidaying, check into the Mondrian next door, but if you’re a media twerp on expenses or on the lam, it’s Di Caprio’s former hotel, on Sunset Blvd.

I’ve stayed there a couple of times, and it’s full of Brits working in film, telly, porn or worse, magazines like mine. There are electric orange tiles, ping pong tables by the pool, and various neato touches that make it fucking cool and 10/10 poncey. Anyway, I follow the hotel’s Twitter account (of COURSE they have a Twitter account, and an ‘SVP of Social Curation’) and I noticed they have not only got a football team, but a strip that has caught the attention of a Hollywood style blog, and now Mud. Sweat.Badges.

This shirt will be used in the  ‘Adidas’ annual adiCup tourney,’ and features the upside down Standard logo to the reverse. And…I. Want. One. Bad.

That is all.
