Pictures of the Authentic home jersey now available!

Like the authentic away jersey it has the top of the Space Needle on the back of the neck.

It also has that subtle crisscrossing line thing going on across the front (which I notice goes under the crest and sponsor but goes over the TechFit straps.)

Obviously the (hideous) silver TechFit straps are quite visible on both the front and back.

I will also point out that the collar is blue all the way around (unlike the early replica which has a green collar except in the middle.)

The main thing we haven't seen is how the silver X is going to look with the name and number over it.  We also don't know what color the name and number will be.  Last year's kits had white stripes and white names and numbers.  This kit has blue stripes on the home jersey and green on the aways. 

We also don't know what the shorts are for these.  Will they match the jersey and be green with blue stripes?  They can't exactly be blue with blue stripes. 

Last year we had white stripes on both the blues and greens.  That allowed us to mix and match jersey with short.  This year, having blue stripes on the home ersey and green on the shale makes the shorts basically non-interchangeable.  So it's probably either all shale or all green.

I was hoping the long delay in seeing the home jersey meant changes were forthcoming.  Looks like I was wrong.  These appear to be the home kit.
