So finally the Sounders away kits form 2025 away kits have been leaked! So how good are they then? Well I'll tell you this, it ain't ugly! I also made a article breaking down why we'll miss the Bruce Lee kits so please read that as well!

I love complexity in design and this kit shows exactly why! All the beautiful different shades of blue are not thrown on there without purpose. They're used to make all the patterns on the uniform stand out while making it very easy to look at without any of the colors stand out too much due to it all being different shades of blue making it all blend together very well. Of course it's very reminiscent of the ocean meant to evoke the Puget Sound that we're famous for but that's also not for the sake of it. Like all of our recent away kits they carry meaning beyond a very cool looking kit for fans and players to wear. This jersey was supposed to be designed with local Native American influences so I'm interested to see more details during the official release. With the three peaks made of the super light blue triangles meant to represent Mt Tahoma, Mt Baker and Mt Adams.






The triangle design for the three peaks is a great creative decision. With the colors blending so well together a way to quickly catch someone's eye is to have a bold design that stands out. Obviously the triangles serves to do that while giving it a very unique but very organized look. Plus there's other peaks and patterns on the sleeves made of faded blue diamonds. Giving it a contrast making the triangle not to have the triangle pattern be too repetitive and stand out more, not making it too much of a eyesore. Plus look very nice on their own merits! Plus love the blue lines made of diamonds perturbing from the bottom, very reminiscent of rivers plus being the right amount of contrast. Standing out from the rest but not being so big as to overtake everything else, adding a bit of visual flare.

Overall they look awesome and I super looking forward to seeing us play in these great designs soon! Thanks a bunch for reading if you loved this I'm sure you'll love my reviews of all the Sounders logos throughout history as well, y'all the best!
