SEATTLE — The Seattle Sounders unveiled Seattle-based online retailer Zulily as its official jersey partner on Thursday at an event at PACCAR Pavilion.
Sounders Majority Owner Adrian Hanauer and Zulily Senior Vice President of Marketing Kevin Saliba spoke while Sounders players Jordan Morris, Román Torres and Chad Marshall modeled the kits. The event shepherds in a new era of Sounders FC with a long-term partnership.
Hanauer began conversations with Zulily’s senior leadership toward the end of last summer into early fall. The two companies share many similarities — Zulily was founded in 2009, has strong ties to the community and is heavily invested in giving back — so the union is one that has both sides thrilled.
