The Story Behind the “Disrupt” Design

The Seattle Sounders FC 2023 Away Kit, affectionately known as the “Disrupt” kit or the Bruce Lee kit, is more than just sportswear; it’s a tribute to a legend whose philosophy transcends martial arts. Bruce Lee, who spent formative years in Seattle, embodied the concept of disruption – challenging norms, adapting, and constantly evolving. This kit captures that spirit.

Design Inspiration & Visual Elements:

• Color Palette: The kit features a striking black base with vibrant yellow and gold accents. This color combination is directly inspired by Bruce Lee’s iconic tracksuit worn in the film “Game of Death.”
• Dragon Scale Pattern: A subtle yet powerful dragon scale pattern is integrated into the fabric. The dragon is a potent symbol in Chinese culture, representing power, strength, and good fortune – qualities synonymous with both Bruce Lee and the competitive spirit of the Sounders.
• “Disrupt” Tagline: The kit incorporates subtle nods to Lee’s philosophy, reinforcing the “Disrupt” theme.
• Crest & Logos: The official Seattle Sounders FC crest is proudly displayed, alongside the Adidas logo and sponsor branding, all integrated seamlessly into the design. On this replica version, the crest is typically an embroidered patch, offering a classic feel and durability.

Wearing this kit connects young fans not only to their favorite team but also to a legacy of innovation, resilience, and breaking boundaries.

Adidas AEROREADY Technology: Stay Dry, Stay Comfortable

This Kids Seattle Sounders Away Kit is built with Adidas AEROREADY technology. This is Adidas’s performance fabric designed specifically for fanwear and training gear, focusing on moisture management to keep you comfortable whether you’re playing, training, or cheering.

How AEROREADY Works:

• Moisture Wicking: AEROREADY fabric is engineered to quickly draw sweat away from the skin’s surface.
• Quick Drying: The material allows moisture to evaporate rapidly, preventing the fabric from becoming heavy or clingy.
• Breathability: The construction of the fabric promotes airflow, helping to regulate body temperature.

For kids, this means staying drier and more comfortable during physical activity or on warm match days. It’s a reliable technology that prioritizes wearability and ease of care for everyday use.

Replica vs. Authentic: Understanding Your Kit

It’s important to understand the difference between the Replica (Fan) version, which this kit is, and the Authentic (Player/Match) version. Both are official products, but they are designed with different purposes and features.

Key Differences:

• Fit:
  • Replica: Features a Standard Fit. This cut is more relaxed and comfortable, designed for everyday wear, casual outings, and general fan support. It offers more room in the body and sleeves.
  • Authentic: Has a Slim/Athletic Fit. It’s much tighter and more tailored to the player’s body for performance, minimizing excess fabric.
• Fabric Technology & Feel:
  • Replica: Uses AEROREADY. The fabric is slightly thicker and softer to the touch, prioritizing comfort and durability for regular washing and wearing.
  • Authentic: Uses HEAT.RDY. This fabric is lighter, thinner, and often has a more textured or engineered feel, designed for maximum breathability and cooling in high-performance situations.
• Weight:
  • Replica: Slightly heavier due to the fabric construction.
  • Authentic: Noticeably lighter, built for speed and agility on the pitch.
• Crest & Logos:
  • Replica: Typically features an embroidered club crest and heat-pressed sponsor/brand logos. The embroidered crest has a classic, tactile feel.
  • Authentic: Uses heat-pressed, often rubberized or silicone, crests and logos. These are lighter and lie flatter against the fabric to reduce drag.
• Construction Details:
  • Replica: Seams and finishes are optimized for comfort and durability.
  • Authentic: May feature bonded seams, ventilation panels, and other details specifically for athletic performance.
• Price:
  • Replica: More affordable, offering great value for fans.
  • Authentic: Higher price point due to advanced materials and construction.

This Kids Kit is a Replica version, offering the authentic look and feel of the team’s kit with a focus on comfort, durability, and value, making it ideal for young fans to wear anywhere.

Finding the Perfect Fit

The Kids Replica kit features a Standard Fit, designed for comfort. We recommend consulting the size chart to find the best fit for your child. Consider their usual clothing size and how they prefer their clothes to fit (more relaxed or slightly snug). The standard fit generally provides ample room for movement and growth.

Caring for Your Kit
