ECS is best known for its support in Seattle, but our love for the Sounders extends throughout the nation and across the Atlantic through our subgroups!
To kick off the 2019 season, we wanted to show our boys that our support for them covers the planet. “It’s a Sounders Unity” is the inspiration for this work, with subgroups from across the US and Europe coming together to independently design and paint their own section of this display. Each of the designs is inspired by our support for the boys and highlights the unique perspective and passion each subgroup brings to ECS. Together, we are stronger!
When it's us vs. them, it's a Sounders unity.
Regardless of results, the play on the field, the weather or car shows, we give our all FOR SEATTLE, FOR SOUNDERS, FOREVER. We’re Sounders Til We Die. We are Emerald City Supporters.
This display includes a 10’ x 100’ text banner and about 2400 cards spread across 3 sections. Each seat in the GA section had 2 cards, the biggest card switch we’ve done AND WE SWITCHED IT TWICE! We’re excited to continue to do new and bigger displays like this, and we need YOU to help! Please join us at our upcoming sessions, you can sign up HERE to get emails of when that will be!

For the 10th anniversary of our club entering MLS, we choreographed a display that calls for everyone to raise their cups to celebrate, then we raised Big F’ing Two Poles (BF2Ps) with each of the Sounders cups (and a shield) from this era. It has been a great 10 years, and as we head into the playoffs we hope to see more added to this collection of silverware!
This display consists of a curtain 25’ tall and 150’ wide, 9 BF2Ps that are 10’x10’ and about 2500 small flags. ECS volunteers produced this display in about a week of sewing, drawing and painting. The tifo production team needs more volunteers to keep doing displays like this, and going bigger and better! Please join us at one of our upcoming sessions, you can signup HERE to get emails of when that will be!

The Emerald City Supporters style of support is influenced by cultures around the world. For this weekend’s match against the Rapids, in the middle of Hispanic Heritage Month we worked with La Barra Fuerza Verde to bring forward more of the Central and South American elements of our support. From the massive confetti launch at kickoff to the tirantes running through (above!) the section to songs like Para Ganar, our focus was paying homage to these influences.
Azul eterno, verde por siempre, soy Sounder hasta la muerte!
