Sounders Electricity Kit

[smzimbabwe]

Sounders 3rd

Apologies if mentioned before...

It kind of hurts my eyes a bit...

[BrySmalls]

That's funny, as it almost matches this:

Well, that's downright miserable. IMHO, they went the "trying to hard to be kewl" route and wound-up screwing-the-pooch in the process. The one-color badge is asinine.

[twi]

Haha awesome.

[DustDevil61]

My eyes!! My beautiful eyes!! Seriously, they should have used their blue with that electric yellow, at least.

eek...hello there, Oregon soccer. I guess adidas wanted some piece of the experimental action that is Nike's northwest brainchild.

i think they shoulda gone with navy or white for a clash kit, but I suppose that's too reasonable.

?These are really great kits,? said Sounders FC forward Fredy Montero. ?We are going to help the stadium save money on the electricity bill.?

I dig them... Interested to see what they'll look like in day light rather than under the controlled lights of a photoshoot.

As a fan I guess I'll live with it, but they should've used it with blue trim instead of rave green. Looks too Timberesque for my liking.

Bingo. Green + yellow = Timbers, so good luck pulling this one off next season.

I like the idea. Ive seen it in the EPL, most recently with Chelsea. The one color logo is the best part. If you have a clash kit, your crest colors may not match well. why not go single color. Everton did it this year with their black and pink kits. Good idea, bad execution. :censored:tle is as :censored:tle does. wait until Timbers do it right, then try again.

They don't look as bad here. They made that photo too bright!

steve zakuani akron zip! yes!

but why do they want to look like mr. yuk?

Well, since the sponser is the XBox 360, you might as well dress in the colors of the XBox 360.

Nope.

I like it in moderation. The green doesn't look that good with it. With Chelsea they had a dark colour to balance it out. But in the video it looked fine.

Donovan, if you go around asking people "What's the color value for Electricity?" on 4/20, you may receive some dubious responses.

[gosioux76]

Amen.

they're not quite yellow, with still that hint of green left

Is that okay?

[Gothamite]

So they're only going to wear them in two friendlies? Makes this a pretty crass merchandising grab.

[Ryoma]

I don't mind it, but they could have done so much better with a third shirt. Maybe they could have used an all-white shirt or a Barcelona-style shirt with alternating green/blue vertical stripes instead of just introducing a new color that essentially makes their team colors those of their biggest geographical rivals?
