Located in America's strip club capital, Tampa, the University of South Florida has good reason to roll with neon fixtures in the football team's new locker rooms. However, nightlife isn't the real inspiration. Instead, there is a surprising design story behind the new look changing facility — Japanese phone booths. Each locker is made of a booth built in 1985. The recycled pieces give the inside of the Lee Roy Selmon Athletics center a proper vintage, futuristic aesthetic. Kind of cool. [SBNATION]
