On Monday morning, the Seattle Sounders released the 'New Rave Green' kit, which will serve as the club's primary option over the next two seasons. In collaboration with MLS and adidas, this kit continues the line of the club's iconic jerseys since 2009. A unique detail to this kit includes a brush-stroke print across the front, which creates a slightly different look for each shirt. In addition, there is a permanent silver star to commemorate the 2016 MLS Cup, plus two tributes to the club's relationship with its fanbase -- a jock tag celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Alliance Council, as well as the phrase "You Will Hear Us" on the neck. This term was created by Sounder at Heart, an online community dedicated to the club.
As always with jersey launches, there were both positive and negative reactions. Here is are some of our favorites:
