This killer kit also features pinstripe elements that connect the Club’s modern day swagger with the North American Soccer League uniform worn during the Sounders early years.One of the more intriguing things about this release is the photoshoot concept.
The Seattle Sounders absolutely nailed the visuals. The photos include people, as well as players, from different walks of life, who share the Seattle Sounders bloodline.
The incorporation of these specific individuals speaks to the modernization and progression of the club throughout its existence.
Additionally, what makes this kit and concept so beautiful to see, is that it is evident the Sounders are embracing the current culture of streetwear in football, while still keeping it classy.
From subtle nostalgic details, to include different Adidas Samba models, the Seattle Sounders traveled through time while still keeping it fresh.
The city of Seattle is known for its unique style and way of life, and that is thoroughly represented by the city’s football team.
As times change, it is important to not only acknowledge the now, but to acknowledge the landscape before the current time. This Sounders kit is a perfectly executed example of how to remain culturally relevant in todays game of football while showing appreciation to the legends who have been established and those who have yet to arrive.
