Sounders FC "The Jimi Hendrix Kit"
The Seattle Sounders have released their new secondary kit for the 2021-2022 seasons. The new look pays homage to Jimi Hendrix and is properly dubbed “The Jimi Hendrix Kit”.
The kit’s design is one of the most unique the Sounders FC has ever had, with the primary purple color and accents of bright orange and yellow. The psychedelic pattern is a nod to Hendrix’s affinity for vivid colors and patterns, highlighted on his album covers and through his personal style. On the bottom left corner of each jersey Hendrix’s signature is displayed. While the neck tape features lyrics from his “Straight Ahead” reproduced in his original handwriting.
“We couldn’t be more excited and proud to finally introduce The Jimi Hendrix Kit to the world; a true intersection of sports, music and pop culture. Jimi’s legacy looms large, not just here in Seattle where he was born and raised, or for the Sounders, where his iconic rendition of ‘All Along the Watchtower’ has been a part of matchday tradition for years, but across the entire world. In his short life, Jimi gifted us with his talent, and, even more so, with his generous and loving spirit. We wanted this kit to embody that colorful, creative personality, while also using it as a way to further good, just as Jimi used his own platform.”- Sounders FC Owner and President of Business Operations Peter Tomozawa
