New Sounders third strip.
Now, I’m a huge fan of yellow and green; been wearing Norwich garb since birth—No, really..Birth. The earliest pics of Ned available to gawk upon, feature a baby in Norwich knitwear, Norwich onesies, Norwich socks, booties and hats. Well done Ned’s mum.
So when the new Sounders third kit found it’s way into the UF email threads, I was stunned at it’s beauty. Not just nice but the Sounders shirt is damn nice. The rest of the UF crew do not agree with me, but then again, you should see the shirts they wear out in public–Shocking.
Back to Seattle, it actually made me jealous–Listen up Norwich, the last few years offerings’ have been OK, but this here Seattle shirt is what you should be aiming for.
More pics after the jump.
The new Norwich 2010/11 kit is nice, but I much prefer the new Sounders design.
Simple with nice trim. Shame they'll probably wear it once this season.
are you Chelsea in disguise?
The green trim looks inspired by baby poop green.
@Georger, well it’s better than marching out in dirty grey. Anyone who has kids will confirm that baby poo actually looks more like the Liverpool away strip.
Georger: the correct term is “meconium”

Who has dirty gray?
Liverpoo have been using Grey away kits for years and years and years.
Pretty sure they’ve only ever had three gray top designs ever and two of them were back to back years, but whatever.
Either way this jersey is terrible. The yellow itself is okay but the green trim is horrible. The colors are too similar and it’s an ugly shade of green. Love their home colors but if this is the same green as that it looks totally different next to neon.
First of all, you are cheating by not showing the whole kit just the top. Its cheesy enough in the partial picture but ALL yellow is a lot worse when you see it:

I used to have a budgie that had the same colours.
Our cat Kaka thought it looked very apetizing. Apparently it was.
The only worse third shirt in north american is the baby pink that Montreal Impact attempted to get the gay crowds out at the stadium (its about 10mins to the gay village) this year.
Of course, that shirt is only fruity,… the two kits above are so ugly that no self respecting buttmuncher would wear the canarywear.
You know if you want to be noticed, then nothing stands out like tyedye. Obviously good taste isnt required for these kits so if you want to be noticed then why not.
I’m not sure if it’s the sponsor or the colors or whatever, but I love that green shirt, and the blue away shirt’s pretty cool too. This one isn’t terrible, but I don’t know why they’d ever need it; off the top of my head, two or three teams already have a yellow/white/orange/light shirt as it is. Nobody’s got green.
@guy lafleur: #1 dad says:
Cheating? There’s a big picture of the full kit at the top of the page.
The only people who should wear that color should be paving a roadway somewhere.
Looks like something out of Tron.
Clearly they’re trying to hone in on the popularity of my Columbus Crew.
Is it bad that I just realized that Goat’s avatar is of a Goat? I just noticed the ball itself…..
That Sounders kit is a thing of beauty, as is their home strip.
Try as I might, I still can’t bring myself to buy the butt ugly jersey of my “hometown” Philly Union. They couldn’t possibly have a jersey any more dull than what they’re sporting this year.

@wac: I didn’t even realize it until you pointed it out…
There are surprisingly few images of goats playing soccer on the internets.
@goat
Change your name to ‘Squirrel’ then:

No s**t, this image came up when I googled “goat playing soccer.”

(BTW, there are tons of pictures of dogs playing soccer on the internets. Just saying.)
@Ned: I can’t just cast of by college nickname. It’s the last vestige of my fleeting youth.
@Anon: That picture is almost enough to make me change my avatar, though.
“I just can’t cast off my college nickname,” that is. Geez, it’s like I’m celebrating 420 a day late.
I always associate goats and soccer with the movie “The Big Green”.
@Ryan, I associate it with this chap…

Feed the goat and he will score!
Yellow in the front brown on the back.
