The Seattle Sounders and LA Galaxy will wear adidas Parley jerseys on Sunday in their match at StubHub Center (1 p.m. PT; ESPN, KIRO Radio 97.3 FM, El Rey 1360AM), and the Sounders players are excited about the opportunity to promote awareness of the harmful impact of marine plastic pollution.
“I like the initiative,” said Sounders midfielder/defender Gustav Svensson. “I like everything that has to do with the environment and saving the environment…It’s a very good jersey and I hope that we can perform really [well] in it.”
The Sounders and Galaxy are two of four Major League Soccer teams participating in the cause, joining New York City FC and Orlando City SC.
