Seattle Sounders FC

Jimi Hendrix is deeply intertwined with his hometown of Seattle. So it's fitting that the city's soccer team is embracing his legacy with a new kit befitting the psychedelic rock icon.

The Seattle Sounders unveiled "The Jimi Hendrix Kit" on Thursday, the franchise's new secondary jersey. The uniform will be dynamic purple, orange and yellow, inspired by Hendrix's "love for color and psychedelic patterns."

A reproduction of the legendary guitarist's signature is stamped on the bottom left corner of each kit.

“We couldn’t be more excited and proud to finally introduce The Jimi Hendrix Kit to the world; a true intersection of sports, music and pop culture,” Sounders FC Owner and President of Business Operations Peter Tomozawa said in a statement.
