Remember that photo? It's from back in October of last year when Seattle was still in the rumor phase of it's expansion bid. Some guy who was commissioned by Adrian Hanuaer did a few mock-ups like the one above that were the talk of the blogosphere for a few days in the fall that now seem more than a little bit prescient: XBOX 360 Live will be Seattle's front of kit sponsor for a cool $4million a year.
So what's all that talk about Jones Soda Co. again? That's cool & cute, but Microsoft is (in my best Posh voice) major. Ma-jor.

That is awesome, definitely one of the better looking MLS kits.
Not the identical kit, but pretty close. They are going with a brighter green and possibly a collar form what I'm told.
There was an article in last month's fast comp@ny about how Microsoft was hiring marketing and PR people to attempt to change their image from that of a bunch of stodgy, money grubbing asshats to more of a trency, cool set of stodgy money-grubbing asshats.
This seems to be one step in that direction.
"to more of a trency, cool set of stodgy money-grubbing asshats."
Ah, they're taking their cue from the Mac ads.
That kit and crest is so much better looking then the one they passed this up for. Too bad.
Might have to pick me up one of those babies...after I get around to buying my Altidore jersey.
Is there a running count of how many times MLS Rumors is involved with an epic fail or do we just assume that everything they post is wrong?
