The Seattle Sounders unveiled their new primary look for the 2026 season, the Evergreen Kit. After years of bold patterns and busy designs, the Evergreen State Kit is a turn to a more simplified look for Seattle’s primary kit, letting the boldness of Rave Green do the talking.
At a glance the jersey looks like an unadorned green top, only broken by the logos on the front, three stripes across the shoulders, and a blue and teal collar and cuffs. But on closer inspection the body of the jersey features a textured hash mark pattern, creating a feeling of depth and detail.

The jersey sponsor and Adidas logos are rendered in the same teal color as the stripes across the shoulders. That same color is then also used on the collar and cuffs in a sort of gradient design that blends with the vibrant blue from the Sounders crest. The collar and cuffs provide a welcome touch of uniqueness in a template jersey, where numerous other MLS teams will be wearing similar looks built on the same template including the textured pattern.
The top will be paired with shorts and socks that are primarily the light teal color used for the stripes and other accents on the jersey, with darker blue accents and the collar and cuff detail repeated at the bottom of the shorts.
The jersey also features a jock tag bearing Washington State’s nickname, the inspiration behind the jersey’s name, “the Evergreen State.” The back of the neck features an outline of Washington state made up of 52 markings representing the club’s commitment through the RAVE Foundation to build 52 free-to-play mini-pitches across the state before the end of 2026.

“These kits are an opportunity to tell a deeper story about who we are,” explained Hugh Weber, Sounders FC President of Business Operations. “The Evergreen State Kit reflects the beauty and simplicity of theworld’s game, while grounding it in the values that define our club and our region. From the design details to the 52 sparks on the back neck, this jersey represents our commitment to community, access and opportunity. It’s about more than what our players wear on matchday – it’s about what we stand for.”
To that end, the club will be donating up to $50,000 from the first three days of sales for the Evergreen State Kit to RAVE Foundation as part of the club’s Purpose Beyond the Pitch initiative. “The Evergreen State Kit is a powerful expression of what RAVE Foundation believes at its core – that play is not a privilege,” said Sounders FC Chief Impact and Fan Engagement Officer Ashley Fosberg. “Every spark on this jersey represents not only a RAVE field, but the communities those fields inhabit. When RAVE invests a field, it invests programs that inspire wellness, learning and joy for the long term. This kit helps shine a light on the impact happening across Washington and the legacy we’re building well beyond 2026.”
