Microsoft and Xbox sponsor new Seattle Sounders FC MLS team

Whether you call it soccer, football or "that game where people kick a ball around a large field", it isn't important. What is important is that you'll be seeing green Xbox 360 jerseys like the one pictured above on Major League Soccer (MLS) players next year, because Microsoft just announced their corporate sponsorship of a new Seattle Sounders FC team.

In a deal that has Microsoft shelling out an estimated $20 million, the Seattle Sounders FC will make their MLS debut Spring 2009 in Xbox 360 style. The team's jerseys will be plastered with Xbox 360 and Xbox Live logos across the front, which instantly makes the Seattle Sounders FC our absolute favorite MLS team evar! (Sorry Beckham and the LA Galaxy, Xbox 360 jerseys are just too cool.) And, if you're as excited as us to wear a corporate sponsored jersey of your own, be sure to add your name to their mailing list to be informed when Seattle Sounders FC apparel will be going on sale. Delectable!
