i hate this jersey
chelsea jersey a few years back
and it might be our new 3rd kit. this is a unsubstantiated rumor, but a friend of mine was buying some new shoes this weekend, and the store employee told him that the 3rd kit was going to be neon yellow. he heard this from an adidas rep. so yes, this is a bit of a telephone game. i heard from a friend who heard it from a store employee who heard it from a rep, and hell, maybe that rep didn’t know what he is talking about.
so file this under the rumor category for sure, but if it happens, lord i will be pissed.
chelsea’s jersey a few years back prompted one of my favorite chants of all times… “are you stewards, are you stewards, are you stewards in disguise…. are you stewards in disguise”
I HATE THIS JERSEY.
Let’s Discuss a Third Kit
Seattle Fans love the Rave Green Jerseys and others enjoy the success in Sounder Blue, but the discussion of a possible third kit always brings out everyone’s opinions. Especially the all-white commemorative kit.
Earlier this week Sounders FC General Manager Adrian Hanauer was asked about a cascade shale alternated jersey to which he replied, “I can’t promise shale grey but there might be a little surprise in the jersey category coming this summer.”
Is this a gimmick for the jersey sales? That’s possible. But according to CONCACAF Champions League Rules: Read more
Sounders Record by Kit
In case you missed it, the Sounders wore their Sounder Blue Jerseys on the road in Columbus last weekend and remain undefeated in that hue.

Petition for Commemorative Kit
The discussion and vote on the All Blue Kits from a week ago shows that people are interested in what our Sounders are wearing.
Joel at Emerald Pitch has put together his creative knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm in creating an all-white retro kit to honor the past players and coaches of the NASL & USL, as well as the current MLS Sounders.
View the entire all-white kit mockup here on Emerald Pitch and if you like the idea and concept then make sure to head over to the online petition to honor 35 years of Soccer in Seattle.
What do you think of Joel’s design?

Seattle to Sport the Sounder Blue

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).

Fashion Show Guest List
Fans of Sounders FC were tempted to meet and socialize with Hollywood “A-Listers” at tomorrow’s Sounders FC Fashion Show when they unveil the kits for the 2009 season. Well, Jose Romero gave us some insight on who the celebrity stars would be…
- Joe Roth
- Drew Carey
- Josie Bissett
- ‘The Price is Right’ models
- Kasey Keller
- Freddie Ljungberg
Really? Federal Way’s Josie Bissett is our “Celebrity A-Lister”??? Joe Roth could only get an actress who is best known from a series 10 years ago? Sad.
Regardless, the Fashion show is for a great cause with proceeds benefiting Seattle Children’s Research Institute and Quest for a Cure Guild.
More importantly, this means the jerseys will now be on sale and widely available!
