A 3rd Kit Comes Closer…

Posted by Mike on April 13, 2010 · Under Uniforms · View Comments 

yellow(Updated 4/14 to include a Cascade Shale) SoccerWest noted that they were expecting a 3rd Sounders jersey “in the coming weeks” on their Twitter page… There has been tons of speculation as what that color will be- from a white “retro” jersey to a cascade shale version.

Well, what do you think about a yellow jersey? We know that yamsmos hates it.

Here’s a previous discussion, but have your opinions changed?

We’re not great with PhotoShop, but we gave it a go…

  • janizzle

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

  • Zach

    It looks like someone pee’d in a butt.

    But an all black with green trim would look dope :)

  • jt

    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!

  • Tim

    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.

  • Mark

    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!

  • Gee

    yea, what happen to the throw back white kit?

  • Green Apple

    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.

    Sign the petition for the Retro heritage white kit:

    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.

  • FO’d

    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.

  • rebelrebel

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

  • Steve

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

  • Kameharem Carter

    too many white kits already, go with the shale.

  • Brian

    How about a rainbow color kit?

  • beowuff

    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.

  • Volstagg

    WOW!  That is bad!

  • MIKE

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

  • MIKE

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

  • yamsmos

    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.

  • MIKE

    purple > yellow

  • Randle

    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’?

  • Randle

    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

  • Steve

    out of those three?  Black by a mile

  • d2bernhard

    ooooooooo me like-ee Cascade Shale-ee

  • LJ

    Cascade Shale!

  • Anonymous

    Retro White – I’d even buy one.

  • Tim

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

  • Caset

    The black one is legit

  • afc73

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

  • jz

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

  • A

    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.

  • Justin

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

  • phil

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

  • soundersfcfanboy

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

  • Fabian

    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.

  • yamsmos

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

  • Jack Brand

    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.

  • Brian

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

  • Not buying 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? 

  • Morning Missile

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

  • Anonymous

    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”?

  • Kameharem Carter

    good guys wear black

  • Spinfyre1330

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

  • Andrew

    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.

  • John Mercado

    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!

  • Sam

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

  • Sam

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

  • J

    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?
