MLS: Grading each club’s newest kits for 2019 – part 2

Seattle get a new secondary kit for the 2019 season. Dubbed “Nightfall” and drawing inspiration from the sky of a summer match against Portland in 2014, the club’s newest kit is predominantly black with pink accenting. There is pink trim on the collar and sleeves and the Adidas shoulder stripes as well.
On the back of the neck is a “cascades to sea” motto. There are also pink bars on the sides of the kit, as well as a blacked out bridge jock tag. A silver star sits above the crest for the club’s MLS Cup win in 2017. Because of the black and pink color palette and unique bars down the sides, this kit gets a very high grade.
