Where will World Cup 2022 be held? Could be the US (that would mean New Rome could represent), could be Spain/Portugal, but if its a design competition then I believe Qatar has it wrapped up. Check out their video of the first 5 proposed stadiums.

Water Taxi?!?! That has to be the best way to get to a soccer game out there. Although who wants to look at the "Stunning Arabian Gulf" instead of the game? Modular seating tiers, a stadium that essentially is a TV, and an endorsement from the Greatest Zinedine Zidane, Qatar 2022 might be the winner here.

Well well, it certainly has been a long time since anything went up in this space so i guess a bit of catching up is due.

New Rome had a pretty exciting summer and things seem to be moving along for us now. We landed on the Karmaloop Kazbah and sales have been pretty good so far. We're over 100 units sold now and hoping to keep it moving.

We're working on some new stuff and will be updating the store section soon. Look out for some new Elephants coming at you our personal take on "The Decision" from the beginning of this summer.

Right now New Rome is traveling through Europe and tearing up the streets of NYC all at once. We can't be everywhere though so we need you all to help get the word out. Our site is always live at newromeclothing.com and we are always taking orders. Also follow us on twitter @newromeclothing and stay up to the minute with The New Rome Triumvirate.

i'll leave you with a video courtesy of brownstoner: (hope we don't end up shit's creek)

tU pHACe w/Disco Biscuits at Nokia Times Square Theater

2008-12-28T15:01:00.006-05:00

It's been a while since we posted anything new here, but some things are worth the wait. Last night, our friend tU pHACe performed with the Disco Biscuits at the Nokia Times Square Theater and New Rome was backstage to witness pHACe rock the crowd. After performing a P-Funk cover, pHACe played his track "Rock Your Dance" with the Disco Biscuits backing him up and got an amazing response from the Biscuits' fans.

The night had further importance for New Rome as our New Rome X tU pHACe collaboration tees were finally put into the artist's hands for the first time. tU pHACe was thrilled with the results and we got many compliments and inquiries about the shirts, including backstage from the Disco Bicuits band members. Check back here for information on the drop date for those tees for our web store and availability at retailers near you. Pictures from the event and pics of the New Rome X tU pHACe tee below.

City Shrinker

2008-10-07T07:28:00.000-04:00

Ben Thomas is the city shrinker and he makes the ordinary seem amazing. In his own words:

You see amazing things every day. It could be out the window of the train on your way to work, it could be in your back yard, even better it could be somewhere completely foreign, something you didnt know existed. My aim is to give that feeling of newness with each shot I take. My method is to take what was once large and shrink it down to model size. To take the familiar and get you thinking even if for a second "wait a minute, is that..."

Born 1981 in Adelaide Australia, Ben Thomas developed his creative itch playing jazz trumpet then moving onto filming the local bands he grew up admiring. Ben later graduated from the International Design Effects and Animation School (Adelaide) before picking up a still camera and a new city, Melbourne. Ben is constantly evolving the techniques he employs to bring about a style that is not only creative but fun.

These photos look like they are of scale models but it is a trick of the eye. I think they are beautiful, see for yourself.
