Seattle Sounders 09/10 Adidas Home and Away shirts
Thursday, 04 December 2008
Our friends from soccer365 unveiled these Seattle Sounders 09/10 Home and away football shirts made by adidas.
Seattle Sounders FC, the 15th team to join MLS, will begin play in the 2009 season. The name ‘Seattle Sounders FC’ was announced on April 7, 2008, along with the team logo, colors and badge design in a presentation held at the Space Needle.
Loosely resembling a heraldic shield, the new badge over the heart consists of two layers representing the partnership between the ownership, the community, the players, and the fans. The logo incorporates the Space Needle, a universally recognized Seattle landmark.
The Colours
The official team colours are Sounder Blue, representing the waters of the Puget Sound; Rave Green, representing the forests of the Pacific Northwest; and Cascade Shale, representing the Cascade Range to the east of Seattle.
The Jersey
As most adidas officially licensed team jerseys, this one is made with ClimaCool® - the advanced material engineered to reduce heat and moisture build-up, allowing increased comfort and performance, and mesh panels – to keep you feeling fresh no matter how long the big Sounders match goes on.
The Sponsor
The jerseys features the familiar XBOX 360 logo on the center chest, representing the landmark multi-year sponsorship deal between Seattle Sounders FC and Microsoft Corp. and Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system worth $20 million over 5 years. Xbox 360 also will be featured as the presenting sponsor of the Sounders FC annual international tour and will gain entitlement to the team’s playing surface, "The Xbox Pitch at Qwest Field". Xbox 360 will be recognized as the official and exclusive video game console of Major League Soccer.
Sounders FC will debut these awesome new jerseys when the team hits the field for the first time in the Spring 2009.
Review the home shirt here and the away shirt here
I like it, it looks smart and the design is excellent. The only annoying thing is that it
is a copy and paste colo(u)r reversal job. Maybe more imagination oin the away kit. Anyone know what the shorts and socks will be like?
I didn't doubt that, just stating the fact that the colours do not work much like the league itself, when the best performer in the MLS is Darren Huckerby you begin to worry... why the obsession with identikit Adiddas tripe in MLS anyhow?
Honestly, I actually like it. It feels like the first MLS franchise (not club) that feels more authentic. The rest still feel like copies off of one another with those old adidas designs the past few seasons.
