I admit I reported the rumors that Jones Soda would be the new Seattle Sounders FC kit sponsor. I was wrong. So wrong. Good thing I'm not a journalist and the good folks at the Wall Street Journal are because they got it right.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Microsoft will be the Sounders new kit sponsor placing "Xbox 360 LIVE" on the front of the jersey. The Redmond, Washington based technology company is reportedly paying the MLS club $4 million a year over 4 years. Coincidentally, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen is one of the owners of the new Seattle Sounders team.

UPDATE: Below is the image captured from the Sounders webpage of the new jersey. It's only a representation unfortunately.

Cue the Sega Dreamcast jokes.
It would be nice symmetry if they ended up with Henry next season.
I've always thought Xbox 360 sounds like some kind of robot sex move from the future.
@goat - does the move finish with a counter-clockwise swirl?
@NYK--I prefer clockwise but it's not written in stone. As long as it doesn't end with a pinch, which I find a little presumptuous.
Before you buy this kit, you should be aware that the collar on some of them will turn red after repeated washings.
