SEATTLE, WASH. - Sounders FC continues its Sounders FC Classics weekly broadcasts tomorrow evening, with this week featuring a "Vintage" theme. Fans were able to choose between three classic Rave Green matches from the early days of the club and decided on Sounders FC's inaugural MLS match against the New York Red Bulls on March 19, 2009. The selection narrowly beat out Kasey Keller's farewell match, with 39 percent of the vote to 37 percent, respectively. Fans are encouraged to vote at SoundersFC.com/Classics to help decide each week's broadcast. The club is offering Sounders FC Classics as a weekly program - Saturday evenings at 7:00 p.m. PT - to provide fans of the Rave Green with a taste of their favorite team during Major League Soccer's ongoing suspension of play. This week's match is presented by WaFd Bank.

Sounders FC Classics is available live on JOEtv, as well as both live and archived for later viewing on SoundersFC.com and via the Sounders FC mobile app, for those within the Sounders FC broadcast territory throughout the state of Washington. This week, due to the nature of archival radio broadcasts, fans wishing to tune in to listen on 950 KJR AM can access the broadcast at the Sounders Weekly podcast page on 950 KJR AM's website.

In addition to the match broadcasts on radio, television, SoundersFC.com and the Sounders FC app, each Sounders FC Classics broadcast features a second screen viewing opportunity from the club's Twitter account. Former Sounder and current Brand Ambassador Brad Evans hosts a 30-minute program starting at 6:30 p.m. PT each Saturday evening, offering additional commentary, analysis and matchday memories. Evans is joined by special guests, including players, coaches, broadcast talent and others, while also engaging with fan questions.

This week's match was chosen as the result of a fan vote. Remaining weeks will also offer fans the ability to vote on what match they would like to see. To view choices and vote for broadcasts, visit SoundersFC.com/Classics.
