These seem to be the new Seattle Sounders 2011 home and away shirt designs made by Adidas.
The badge design resembles a heraldic shield and consists of two layers which represent "the partnership between the ownership, the community, the players and the fans".
The logo incorporates the Space Needle, an internationally recognized Seattle landmark. The official team colours are Sounder Blue, signifying 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.

errrm...
regardless of that though, nice shirt!
I've got this year's home shirt so I'll probably plump for the away one next season.
Also, good to see the TPU TechFit bands being done in colour, rather than see-through like at the WC.
I know coloured bands won't work for every team out there, but it's always nice to see brands doing something new, rather than copying the same ideas years after year,
Will there be any difference between the two?
And are we to expect these on Chelsea and Real Madrid kits next season, I presume AC Milan would be too stripy to have such a design.
I will be able to comment more on the design when the pictures are more visable.
#1 Put Adidas in such a cramped area
#2 Put a bra strap where a nameplate would be
#3 Ditch the Blue. Too popular.
#4 Have a number on the proto -- the numbers are the same throughout the league; size and font.
So don't get upset. It's all a hoax. Or at least a stupid early proto. Most likely, it's just an overeager fan.
They can't put the adidas on the opposite side to the badge as it would cut that line, the name can go under the number, like on many other kits when they have a sponsor at the top of the back, and it's a poor picture, but it's still blue, they haven't ditched it. I wouldn't be so sure that's it's fake if I was you.........
#2 the bra strap you're referring to is the adidas TechFit design ... it's transparent, and optional for the players to wear ... they've already launched it in a number of European kits
#3 apparently someone below me says it's still blue ... but i'm sure a number of fans would prefer a black jersey over blue (even if it is for only one or two seasons)
#4 and i'm assuming there aren't numbers on the backs yet because the MLS hasn't agreed to what their numbers/font will look like next year. It might be the same as this year, and it might not ...
these pictures were taken from the sounders media guide for employees ... they weren't made by an eager fan.
d. its probably because there still playing fifa 2000 on ps one
This is real.
The "bra strap" is real, but comes off clear on the actual jersey and not white.
The Sounders are due new kits as well as a few other MLS clubs. More will be coming.
As for the Seattle shirt. Dear god, Adidas continue with poor design more suited for American Gladiators or Power Rangers.
Bring back the Sounders white kits.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
