Sounders FC and Xbox have once again collaborated to release a uniquely embellished jersey, as the club today announced that it is wearing Forza Motorsport 7 adornments on its Pacific Blue kits against the LA Galaxy on Sunday, September 10. The move marks the third-consecutive season that Seattle and Xbox have partnered to create a specially-themed jersey, having debuted in 2015 with Halo 5: Guardians for one match, followed by Gears of War 4 last season in both a home and away match.
This season, in addition to the Forza Motorsport 7 franchise jerseys in September, the club and Xbox have also partnered on a second embellishment for a late-season matchup against FC Dallas on October 15. Details surrounding the second embellished jersey are to be released at a later date.
"Our themed jerseys have been a consistent hit since we first worked with Xbox to introduce the twist in 2015," said Sounders FC Chief Operating Officer Bart Wiley. "We're looking forward debuting two designs this season, starting with Forza Motorsport 7 this weekend."
