Sounders FC and Xbox have once again collaborated to release a uniquely embellished jersey, as the club today announced that it is wearing Xbox Game Pass adornments on its Rave Green kits against the LA Galaxy on Saturday, August 18 (1:00 p.m. PT / ESPN, YouTube TV, 950 KJR AM, El Rey 1360 AM).
Xbox Game Pass is a new Xbox One subscription service that provides unlimited access to over 100 great games, including new Xbox exclusives, for one low monthly price. The move marks the fourth consecutive season that Seattle and Xbox have partnered to create a specially-themed jersey, having debuted in 2015 with Halo 5: Guardians for one match, followed by Gears of War 4 in 2016 for two matches, and both Forza Motorsport 7 and Xbox One X for a match each last year.
This season, in addition to Xbox Game Pass jerseys, the club and Xbox have also partnered on a second embellishment for a late-season matchup against the Houston Dynamo on October 8. Details surrounding the second embellished jersey are to be released at a later date.
Sounders FC is unbeaten when wearing the embellished kits in MLS play (3-0-2) and hopes to continue that trend with its two matches in 2018.

In addition to unlimited access to over one hundred great Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles, an Xbox Game Pass subscription provides gamers with new games on the day they’re released, including hit titles like Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2 and the upcoming Forza Horizon 4. Games on Xbox Game Pass can be downloaded directly to a player’s Xbox One and played in full-fidelity. Subscribers can enjoy new games frequently added to the Xbox Game Pass catalog, as well as save 20% when purchasing Xbox Game Pass titles to own. More information, including a chance to win an Xbox One X with Game Pass, can be found on matchday in the Northwest Marshalling Area of CenturyLink Field.
Special Xbox Game Pass sunglasses, including a free 14-day trial, will be handed out to the first 20,000 fans attending the match.
Fans interested in having their own jerseys embellished with the Xbox Game Pass mark may do so at The Pro Shop at CenturyLink Field on Saturday. This special service is available only at the stadium Pro Shop location for matchday, while supplies last. The cost for embellishment is $15 per jersey and same-day turnaround is dependent on order volume.
