Hey all,

I just got an email confirming that Seattle's new MLS franchise is indeed going to be Seattle Sounders FC. Congrats on that!

That's who I wrote in. Of course it helped that the three official choices all sucked.

49% vote of the vote was a version of Sounders

The official badge and colors. The colors are very Seattle and will fit into Qwest quite well.

You can watch the announcement video at their site
Seattle Sounders FC
Rather cheesy, but available
Hopefully they put some of the press conference online in a archived video format.

nearly 14,000 season ticket deposits including the 500 last week. Press conference also mentioned that they are absolutely willing to spend the money on an Henry level talent.

I think they'll have a whole lot of competition for Henry level talent. I think it's difficult to get Henry level talent because frankly the level of competition isn't there yet.

Congrats. Good thing they realized the metro area was endeared to the Sounders name.
