The Seattle Sounders FC revealed their third kit today at the team's Pro Shop at Pacific Place.
The third kit is Electricity, highlighted by Rave Green trim. The uniform also features a one-color Sounders FC badge on the left chest.
"A third kit is traditional among many international soccer clubs," said Sounders FC owner and general manager Adrian Hanauer. "We will wear the third kit for international friendlies, possibly for some cup matches, and whenever Sigi feels like the "electricity" might bring us a result."
The performance design cues carry over with adidas FORMOTION and CLIMACOOL. FORMOTION technology allows the uniforms to move naturally with the athlete's body resulting in ideal comfort while in motion. CLIMACOOL technology combines moisture wicking fabric with strategically placed mesh material in the player's heat zones to keep the athlete at optimum temperature.
"These are really great kits," said Sounders FC forward Fredy Montero. "We are going to help the stadium save money on the electricity bill."
BACKGROUND: This limited edition kit or uniform will be worn by the Sounders FC during all international friendlies played at Qwest Field and some cup matches. Each friendly will be presented by AT&T and Samsung Mobile.
DETAIL: The jersey features the Xbox 360 logo and a tone on tone or one-color Sounders badge positioned on the left chest and accented by the traditional adidas 3-stripes. The jersey, shorts and socks will all feature the same color palette.
SLEEVE PATCHES: The U.S. flag is featured on the left sleeve and the MLS logo on included on the right sleeve.
PRIMARY COLOR: Electricity (Pantone 809C)
ACCENT COLOR: Rave Green (Pantone 370C)
MATERIAL: The performance design cues carry over with adidas FORMOTION and CLIMACOOL. FORMOTION technology allows the uniforms to move naturally with the athlete's body resulting in ideal comfort while in motion. CLIMACOOL technology combines moisture wicking fabric with strategically placed mesh material in the player's heat zones to keep the athlete at optimum temperature.
FONT: The font is consistent with other team apparel, modified versions of Verlag ("Sounders FC") and Eurostyle ("Seattle").

Can't wait for the Timbers to join the west.

Nice of someone to delete the 'designed by Zoran' from the picture.
Green shorts would make it look Norwich like
So well done Adidas :L
Every year I become more disappointed with the Sounders.
1. The name should've been Seattle FC or Emerald City FC.
2. The Seattle FC logo was better.
3. The colors suck and are nothing more than an XBox marketing ploy because Paul Allen co-owns Microsoft and the Sounders.
4. They let Drew Carey have a marching band.
5. They let Le Toux go, and keep useless and slow Jaqua.
6. They play on turf.
7. These horrible 3rd kits.
Seattle fans keep buying into this crap!
