Seattle Sounders unveils the new 'anniversary' kit

The Seattle Sounders FC revealed its new primary jersey today, after EA Sports had accidentally leaked the 2024 MLS jerseys a few weeks ago. The new kit, named The Anniversary Kit, honors the club's 50th anniversary season and its legacy and heritage. The jersey has a vertical stripe pattern in three shades of Rave Green.

The updated Rave Green is the main color, symbolizing the club's passion and energy. Heritage Aqua is the accent color, showing the club's link to the Puget Sound and the original NASL Sounders. A darker green is the third color, recalling the club's first kits from 1974 and their city roots.

The kit also has several design elements that showcase the club's identity and culture. The jersey has a 3D wave crest on the chest, which symbolizes the club's wave of support and innovation. The jock tag has a wavemark, which is a new interpretation of the old NASL Sounders logo and a nod to the club's legacy. The neck hit has an Orca, which is a new mark that represents the club's strength and resilience.

The shorts are Aqua Blue and the socks are white, creating a bold and retro outfit that stands out on the pitch. The Anniversary Kit is available for purchase at mlsstore.com and other retailers. Fans can also find a variety of street-wear designs inspired by the kit at Simply Seattle.

It's a hot debate among the Rave Green fans. Some of them adore the new kit and think it honors the club's legacy. Others are disappointed and wish there was a different ideia behind it or just more green in it. The EA Sports leak sparked this controversy a while ago, but now the fans can see it for themselves and make up their minds. Which camp are you in?
