Seba LeToux sports the Sounder Blue (from SoundersFC.com)

Maybe you thought that Rave Green was ugly and you bought the Sounder Blue Jersey instead. Then you were wondering why you spent your money.

Well, the Front Office announced today that the Sounders will be wearing the all-blue alternate kit for the first time on Wednesday when they take on the Portland Timbers in the Third Round of the US Open Cup at PGE Park

As a note, Sebastien LeToux has two goals and two assists in US Open Cup play this year. In 2007 and ’08, he was the US Open Cup goal scoring leader (with 5 in each of those Cups).

    it’s not about the color of the kit but the crest on the chest.

    Hey, if we are blue, what is Portland?

    Their black and green unis are both too dark and similar? they’d have to wear their whites.  A good chess move forcing them to pull out the away whites at home if that is the case. Either way good bye pdx, we hardly knew ye.

    Portland fans, rejoice! It’ll be the last piece of good news you have regarding this match.

    This is good for Portland. Its only fair we get to sport our home jersey.

    I have a feeling this game is going to be a great match. Sure your team has better talent due to the move to MLS, but our team is on a roll right now. We have only lost once in the past 16 matches (league, exhibition, USOC) and that was our first game away at Vancouver.

    I have watched some of the sounders matches because they are always shown on FSN down here. Your team is quality and I think they are better than their record shows. Keller was right to criticize the guys when you played DC because there have been many games like that where the lead disolved for a draw. I hope your first string guys all come out to play. Keller is a Portland legend, Jaqua is a native of Eugene, OR where i went to school, and both Fredy’s are fun to watch.

    And despite what you all think we are actually pretty stoked to have you all travel down to PGE park. Rivalry games need a large amount of traveling fans to make them special. Im pretty sick of all the pre game talk at this point and all I want is a showcase of NorthWest soccer and its fanbase that I’ll never forget.

    Jeeze Mike F, I was all pumped up and ready to hate you Portlanders and then you have the audacity to come here and be a nice guy…

    It should be a fun match.  Having not watched the USL Sounders at all I am really excited to see what it is like to see a game with a strong rivalry.

    I’m sad I can’t make it down to Portland Wednesday… Stupid middle of the week games… Here’s hoping for many more rival games between us so I can make it to a weekend game in the future.
