THE JIMI HENDRIX KIT

A powerful Sounders Matchday tradition, Jimi Hendrix's iconic rendition of "All Along The Watchtower" blares throughout the stadium prior to kickoff. It's a rallying cry rooted in the fabric of our city. Jimi IS Seattle. This jersey, like Jimi, shatters norms and honors one of Seattle's greats.

Jimi Hendrix’s story started in Seattle’s Central District from humble beginnings and lives on through those he has inspired with his music. Eva and Cedric Walker are The Black Tones, a Seattle rock-and-roll band deeply influenced by Jimi’s sound. Together they are an incredible musical force and a proud product of this city’s vibrant music culture.

Jimi Hendrix’s life and music remain timeless as he continues to unite us through his unique style and creative expression. His legacy is eternally linked to the city that molded him. His Sound is our Sound. Each note provides a glimpse into the unparalleled genius that forever altered the course of music.

The bright accents and psychedelic patterns are a nod to Jimi Hendrix's album covers and memorable on-stage style. Jimi's signature stamps the bottom of each jersey and the necktape features his handwritten lyrics from his song, "Straight Ahead".
