"Each year, nearly 1.5 million barrels of oil are used to make plastic water bottles. Most of those bottles end up in our landfills, in our oceans, littering our sidewalks."

With stats like that, the fact that these water-filtering bottles are so slick is superfluous. http://www.los-list.com/blog/eco-friendlies-karim-rashid-bobble/feed/ 8 http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-retro-brand-football-tees/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-retro-brand-football-tees/#comments Tue, 14 Sep 2010 20:03:21 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=8372

Did I mention that Lo's List loves fall? Well, football is just one more tremendous tradition to add to the list of the season's offerings. There's nothing that I look forward to more than a Sunday afternoon / Monday night yelping at the tube with YZ (damn you Jets offense!) and drinking fancypants Belgian beer. To celebrate the time-honored American sports tradition, here's our roundup of vintage-y, super-soft collegiate football team tees from Retro Brand. All the charm of the prep years minus the dormitories and barfy keg parties. http://www.los-list.com/blog/t-shirt-tuesdays-retro-brand-football-tees/feed/ 17 http://www.los-list.com/blog/roger-milla-for-puma/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/roger-milla-for-puma/#comments Sun, 11 Jul 2010 18:00:14 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=7027

Last night I dreamed I was at the finals. I was dressed in full Oranje regalia with a cheese wedge hat. With an hour to go before the finals, nerves at all three Martin-Verhoeven camps are high and I keep getting random bouts of the goosebumps. I've been practicing my Roger Milla-inspired goal dance (with the hopes that I will be calling upon it at least once this afternoon) and am so hopped up on coffee I can't quite complete a sentence. The final day of the cup is here and, although I clearly want my Dutch peeps to come out on top, it's just a thrill to watch them fight for the chance. http://www.los-list.com/blog/roger-milla-for-puma/feed/ 4 http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-svolme/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-svolme/#comments Sun, 11 Jul 2010 05:35:05 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=6979

Just one more day of World Cup action. { sniiiiif... } Today's game for third place (what a doozy) found me screaming at the Celeste to "just score another f***ing goal" in a desperate plea to see the match stretch on for another 30 minutes... http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-svolme/feed/ 6 http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-top-ten-soccer-balls/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-top-ten-soccer-balls/#comments Fri, 09 Jul 2010 20:15:56 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=6924

It's always a thrill to see a universal object transformed into artful keepsakes by a whole slew of creative folk. Here's a roundup of our 10 favorite designer footballs (with a few from previous years that we couldn't pass up), including a design from Lo's List favorite Genevieve Gaukler (check out our Gauckler T-Shirt Tuesday post), and the obvious overall favorite... http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-top-ten-soccer-balls/feed/ 17 http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-arkitip/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-arkitip/#comments Wed, 07 Jul 2010 21:20:21 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=6893

Starting to worry about how you'll fill your days once the Cup is over? With just two games left to enjoy, you might be wondering: "how will I live without my daily dose of soccer?!". Well, to help you transition back to the real world, order a copy of Arkitip's Issue №0055 (the World Cup special edition), done in collaboration with Chinatown Soccer Club. It's 100% football meets design — cover to cover. http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-arkitip/feed/ 11 http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-african-arenas/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-african-arenas/#comments Sat, 03 Jul 2010 19:55:35 +0000 Jerome Luc Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=6626

At this stage of the tournament, with so many favored teams crashing out (see yesterday’s Brazil v. Holland shock) and with the hopes of entire continents dashed by the sporting fates (poor Ghana! perfidious Suárez!) it may be time for a reminder that the World Cup is, after all, about football. At the heart of the carefully managed fanfare of this four-yearly feast is a simple game, played with no more than a ball and a set of posts. A new book by photographer Thomas Hoeffgen, African Arenas, captures just that pared-down beauty of the game... http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-african-arenas/feed/ 6 http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-oranje/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-oranje/#comments Fri, 02 Jul 2010 17:21:57 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=6794

Nike Nederland Skills Ball

WHOO HOOO! What a game! Although Brazil were tipped to beat the Flying Dutchmen today during the first of the 2010 World Cup quarter finals, there was no stopping this level-headed gang from the Países Bajos (yep, we've only got Univision here at home) as the Dutch kept control of the ball and their tempers... http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-oranje/feed/ 11 http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-bumpy-pitch/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/world-cup-fever-bumpy-pitch/#comments Tue, 29 Jun 2010 22:32:37 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=6738

Eeek! The World Cup quarter finals are upon us (Hup Holland Hup!!) and we're giddy with anticipation here at the office... We've been collecting tons of World Cup-related content to blog about but, with our eyes so glued to the screen during the Round of 16, it's been a tad difficult to actually get anything published! So, since the football gods have given us a 2-day R&R period, here are some of posts we've been meaning to share, starting with a whole crop of stellar national team tees from LA-based, soccer-centric t-shirt company Bumpy Pitch...
