The Sounders FC members club will be known as Sounders FC Alliance, and the marching band will be known as the Sound Wave.

Here's the release from www.soundersfc.com.

RENTON, WASH. – Supporters of the Seattle Sounders FC have voted to name their members association the Sounders FC Alliance and the team’s marching band is now known as the Sound Wave, it was announced today.

Sounders FC Alliance won with 43 percent and Sound Wave finished with 50 percent in the voting which concluded at midnight Dec. 1.

“Once again, the people have spoken,” said Drew Carey, the minority owner who will serve as chairman of the Sounders FC Alliance. It was Carey who conceived of the idea that the new Major League Soccer franchise would embody Democracy in Sports, giving fans a voice in the club’s direction.

“I’m excited about the Alliance because this is all about the fans having their say, and they’ve chosen their name,” added Carey. “I am also perfectly happy with Sound Wave because, first, I voted for it, and the name just sounds right for a marching band.”

FSN serves as presenting sponsor of the Sounders FC Alliance.

Membership in Sounders FC Alliance is complimentary for season ticket holders, and non-season ticket holders can join for an annual fee of $125. Benefits include voting privileges, membership pin, membership card, discount at team shops, an invitation to the annual meeting, electronic newsletters during the season, an annual team report and more.

The 53-piece marching band, the first of its kind in MLS, was also the brainchild of Carey. The Sound Wave will next perform, along with the Blue Thunder, at halftime of the Sunday, Dec. 7, Seahawks game at Qwest Field.

Voting was primarily conducted online, beginning Nov. 20. Each category featured three choices of names, plus a write-in option.

Finishing second in the balloting was Sounders FC Members Association (32 percent) and, for the band, Green Machine (31 percent).

The Sounders revealed their full home and away uniforms last night.

Unfortunately, I'm not finding a good slideshow or multiple pictures on the soundersfc.com site, however their is this shot of the home uniforms -- green shirts/blue shorts -- while the TNT has a shot of the road kits -- blue shirts/green shorts.

So, what do you think?

I like them about as much as I can like a uniform that doesn't feature stripes. I like the distinct color scheme -- no one else in MLS has this look. And I like the mix of traditional Sounders colors while still looking fully modern.

Here's a Sounders' release explaining all the various colors and configurations:

The Seattle Sounders FC revealed their home and away kits. The authentic home kit features ‘rave green’ jerseys paired with ‘sounders blue’ shorts. The team will wear ‘sounders blue’ jerseys with the ‘rave green’ shorts on the road.

“We were passionate about the color scheme from the first presentation because it is so distinguishable,” said majority owner Joe Roth. “Regardless of where you are in the world, when
you see those colors you will be reminded of Seattle Sounders FC.”
The ‘Xbox 360 LIVE’ logo is featured prominently on the front of the jersey. The back of the jersey will display the player’s last name and number. The Sounders FC will debut their uniforms when the team takes the field in spring 2009.

The full on-field and training gear line integrates all the team colors including: rave green, sounder blue and cascade shale. Pending competition rules, the goalkeeper jersey will be
available in black, orange or gray. The pre-game warm-up jacket and fleece pants feature the cascade shale. All pieces prominently feature a silhouette or woven Sounders FC badge accompanied by the adidas three stripes.

The Sounders FC badge represents the organization’s personality, image, core competencies and characteristics. The badge was developed with two distinct layers to represent the partnership
between the ownership, the community, the players and the fans. The partners are all united under one banner which carries the team name.

“As the number one soccer brand in the world, we are proud to partner with Sounders FC to bring the team’s identity to life,” said Antonio Zea, Director of Soccer for North America at
adidas. “We are confident the fans will embrace the jersey’s design as well as the unique color combination of rave green and sounder blue that reflect the Pacific Northwest landscape.”

The latest in adidas apparel technology is featured in the Sounders FC kit including ClimaCool® and Formotion™ technologies, which allows heat and sweat to escape the body and is proven to
reduce fatigue and dehydration. The jersey also features ForMotion® technology, engineered to fit an athlete’s body in motion through 3-dimensional design and by flattening the seams to reduce irritation.
