But I’ve found more to love, oh so much more. My heartfelt love goes out to SoCal Sound - “a group of passionate Seattle Sounders supporters who live in Southern California – but bleed blue and green.” Sing it!
And if you did a double-take during last Saturday’s game against Chivas when the camera panned over a section of fans proudly holding their Sounders FC scarves aloft, you weren’t alone. “Wha? Where did all that blue and green in a sea of red come from?” I love how the Sounders Flag in this photo is obscuring the banner in the background that reads "Home of Chivas USA."
Seriously, how many emerging sports clubs of any kind can you think of that have groups of supporters outside of their home state? I’ve found more than one Packer bar outside of Wisconsin, but I’m quite sure that out-of-state support didn’t exist a mere two months into the first season (sure, that was way back in 1919...).
Bottom line: We’re Sounders ‘till we die… no matter what state we live in!
