What to do?
Published 4/8/2008 by Scads at The Mind of Scads - A Soccer Blog

[image] On a happier note for soccer in general Seattle has its official name of Seattle Sounders FC.

... , "the fans are speaking." Seattle Sounders F.C. (Cue the angels, harps and all that goodness) I love it. Here's a link to the new website: SoundersFC.com . It looks remarkably similar to the ex-MLS in Seattle website and has a countdown that appears to mark April 9th, 2009, at 7 p.m. as the season opener. Now I wasn't as passionate as many in this area. I didn't think keeping the Sounders name and tradition was a priority. I thought any name could be the start of something special. ...

Sounders Unveil Jerseys
Published 5/28/2008 by Seth (noreply@blogger.com) at Enjoy the Enjoyment

All told, pretty sharp-looking (I know, lime green sounds bad, but it somehow works). Soon to be available in stores, I'm sure. Owner Joe Roth and Vulcan CEO Tod Leiweke made a big deal about how, in ...
