Salmon Bay FC and hummel’s first new release celebrates the PNW climate and the lasting imprint of the club on the local community. The club’s 2026 Away Kit, the “Imprints of Intent Kit” is the first new release in partnership with hummel, the iconic Danish manufacturer.
Ahead of Salmon Bay FC’s second-ever season, the club is leaning into the nature that makes the Salmon Bay, Seattle, and the entire Pacific Northwest so iconic.
Just like the leaves themselves represent the positive imprint of the trees on the local nature, Salmon Bay FC aims to imprint a lasting legacy on its players, the local community, Seattle Soccer scene, and women’s sports as a whole. “Imprints of Intent” is both a literal name as the 2026 Away Kit depicts the the beauty of the Salmon Bay and its surroundings, a core tenant to all of the club’s designs but also reflects the core values of the club. The leaves also represent every player from the inaugural squad and the imprint they have left behind on Salmon Bay FC.
Salmon Bay FC’s goal is to help develop the path to pro for top-level soccer players in and around Settle, successfully leaving a lasting imprint on the lives and careers of every player who plays at Pagliacci Pitch. At tryouts for this upcoming season, alums Elena Milam and Hallie Bergford sat down and talked about their experiences with Salmon Bay FC and the lasting impact the club has had on them on their careers. Milam and Bergford became the first two Salmon Bay alums to sign professional contracts after the club’s inaugural season last summer. Watch their full interview here.
The “Imprints of Intent” kit was shot in the forest with players Ameera Hussen and Jaylee Reynolds posed by the different trees that are physically represented by the leaf design on the kit itself.
“We wanted to highlight the beauty of our local environment with the ‘Imprints of Intent’ Kit, detailing all the different trees that make this such a beautiful place to live while also having a design that reflects the vision and goal for the club of leaving a lasting and positive imprint on everyone who interacts with Salmon Bay FC.” – Tiffany Mallick, Vice President
The away kit features a pattern of leaves from local trees including Maple Trees, Douglas Firs, Paper and White Birch Trees, Pine Trees, Fern Trees, and Conifers, emphasizing just how green the local environment due to the iconic trees of the PNW.
Salmon Bay FC will wear the “Imprints of Intent” Kit on the road this season alongside a new goalkeeper kit which will be released next month ahead of the USL W season.
The Imprints of Intent kit can be purchased online at salmonbayfc.com/shop or in-person at the Team Store which is located at Smål Market in downtown Ballard (2206 NW Market Street, Seattle, WA 98107).
