A 3rd Kit Comes Closer…

i do not like the color yellow i do not like this

It looks like someone pee’d in a butt.

But an all black with green trim would look dope

A shale would work because of it being on the color wheel we already have.  This piss ant yellow isn’t worth the discussion – it’s horrid!

Looks like Houston Yellow, which is a no go in my book. When would they wear the 3rd? They don’t even wear the away kits now.

I could see a “rave” yellow kit (aka neon yellow). That is not saying that I would like it.

My vote is for the white kit… classy!

yea, what happen to the throw back white kit?

When Portland Enters MLS. Our Rave Green and Blue will be quite close to their home color of Dark Green. We need a light colored third kit. White please!!! 

I don’t understand the yellow thing. Rave green is already such a bright color. I’m hoping for something simple and classic.

Here’s a large preview of the retro mockup:

Maybe we can get something like this for next year when Portland and Vancouver enter the league.

Yellow is the color of Columbus. I wouldn’t expect any other team to have a bright green 3rd so we shouldn’t have a yellow, no matter the hue.

There are already nine white jerseys in the league. That’s enough white for me.

The 3rd kit is for CONCACAF regs. All teams are required to have three…

wow.  that thing is ugly!  Go with the white, it is a color we sport on our jerseys now.

too many white kits already, go with the shale.

How about a rainbow color kit?

That is NOT yellow. I don’t know what that is. It’s closer to orange then yellow. But it is definitely NOT yellow. I would call that color ”Horrid”. It made me throw up a little. Black with either green or blue highlights would be cool. White would be nice also.

I’d have to see the shale and what colors are combined with it.

WOW!  That is bad!

OK, I took a go at a Cascade Shale jersey mockup and a Barça-esque unique color.

Yeah, that’s right, I just “liked” my own comment, b/c I really like that Cascade Shale jersey.

mike… that purple is just horrid, almost (i said almost) makes the yellow look good.

to paraphrase happy gilmore – if i was caught wearing one of those jersey’s i would have to kick my own ass.

purple > yellow

Yep, photoshop ain’t your friend. Neon Chartreuse is not working.

I’ll throw my lot with the throwback white kit that’s part of ghe petition.

How ’bout a link or mock up for the ‘shale’?

Guess I need to hit the refresh button more often. Or type faster.

Shale = thumbs up

Grape = husky fan?

Still would like to a throwback

out of those three?  Black by a mile

ooooooooo me like-ee Cascade Shale-ee

Cascade Shale!

Retro White – I’d even buy one.

The shale kit looks like the practice jersey that would be confussing.

The black one is legit

wishing for a “plain” jersey, solid even. i have a feeling these wishes will go unanswered….
(the yellow is hideous)

Anything that looks remotely like Oregon colors should be off the table. 

There’s no such thing as an away kit in soccer. Just first and second kits. And possibly a third. And most team wear the first kit whenever they can, that is, always at home and also away if it does not conflict with thw home team’s kit.

Yellow and purple are a joke! Make it black or White or a throwback…

I think yellow is too close to the rave green to be a true third.  Shale or white are my guesses (and preferences)

I love the yellow a ton!  The black is OK.  The puple…  no way man…

Im letting you all now that the hispanic community will hate it if the sounders got a yellow kit!!! It reminds us of Club America, which is one of the most hated clubs in central and south America. On that note, the shale will be very much adored and popular.

unfortunately, while that yellow is still very ugly, it isn’t as neon as i hear.

The question for the front office should be, which one would people potentially buy and wear around town?

The answer is shale or white.  I like the shale design and it IS one of the three colors. 

Since we already have kits in “Xbox Green” and “Windows Blue,”  shale makes the most sense.

Hey I like the purple.  No one on the team would wear it. but I still like it

I see more Club America jerseys in the Puget Sound area than any other Mexican or latin-based club, so I can’t fully agree with you. Perhaps you are a Chivas fan? 

my wife would love to see brad evans in some throw back white short shorts.

I’d love to see Brad Evans in some throwback white short shorts, marking his man, preventing a goal, and starting a counterattack with an accurate pass.  Mostly the last 3 things.

And why does everyone keep referring to the repurposed Houston kit on top as “yellow”?

good guys wear black

Yellow – NO
PUPLE – NO
Black – MAYBE
Retro White kit – YES

We already have the obnoxious Rave Green uniforms, do we really need another painful-on-the-eyes kit?  I think you need to modify this post so that the purple and yellow are only visible when the user rolls over them with the mouse.  Limit the damage, please!

The shale is excellent, though maybe not different enough from the blues (which I’m annoyed that we don’t wear more).  I’d favor that or an all white kit.

Why so many colors of kits.. why not stick with Green?  That yellow reminds me of some stuff I have seen in the Morning alongside the curb.  The slate is OK..little cowardly, the Purple a little to brave; don’t think they would like to wear purple, but if we had a Sounders Womens team that would be great!

Ugh, that is awful. Too many logos floating around on that thing.

Yellow one totally works, just make the alternate color shale instead of green.

I love how everyone identifies yellow with Columbus, and provides that color-identity as reason to not have it as a third jersey. What about the plethora of blue kits in the league? Saying yellow belongs only to Columbus is ridiculous. Why is yellow singled out and not blue?
