Unveiling the Evergreen State Kit: A Celebration of Washington's Spirit and Soccer Legacy
A Jersey That Tells a Story
In a vibrant display of Washington's essence, we proudly present our new primary jersey, the Evergreen State Kit. This kit is more than just a uniform; it's a tribute to the unique spirit, color, and culture that define our state and the Sounders.
Honoring Seattle's Heritage
Rooted in the city's love for football and its deep connection to nature, the kit pays homage to Seattle's heritage. It captures the enduring obsession with the beautiful game and the timeless bond between community and nature.
A Mission to Empower Youth
The kit also celebrates the RAVE Foundation, the charitable arm of the club. Their mission is noble: to build soccer fields for free play, ensuring every child has a place to belong, dream, and be empowered through the game. As part of the Purpose Beyond the Pitch initiative, the club will donate a significant portion of the first 30 days' sales of this kit to the RAVE Foundation, supporting their work in strengthening communities.
Designed with Purpose and Class
Inspired by the elegance of the world's game, the Evergreen State Kit is a masterpiece of simplicity and class. The clean lines and minimalist design reflect a deep connection to Rave Green and the community it symbolizes. The kit features subtle blue and aqua accents, reminiscent of Washington's lush forests and serene waterways.
Attention to Detail
A premium flat-knit pattern on the cuffs and collar adds a touch of sophistication, enhancing the overall aesthetic. The front left corner boasts a custom 'The Evergreen State' jock tag, while an outline of Washington with 52 sparks on the back neck represents the RAVE Foundation's commitment to building 52 mini-pitches across the state by 2026.
A Jersey for Dreamers
This jersey is a testament to the power of soccer to inspire and empower. It's a reflection of stories like that of Oblé Reed, a Seattle music artist who grew up in the city, attended the inaugural Sounders match, and discovered that soccer could be a pathway to dreaming bigger.
