S2 played its inaugural match on March 21, 2015, winning 4-2 over the defending USL champion Sacramento Republic. Andy Craven notched the first goal in team history.[6] Their second game yielded the teams first shutout, a home game against Whitecaps FC 2 that ended 4-0. Darwin Jones scored the team's first hat-trick during the game.[7]

Team colors & crest

The team colors are inherited from the first team. The crest inherited the Sounders Rave Green color as well as the unique shape. The first team crest features 3 pieces representing the players, fans, and clubs. The S2 crest matches this shape by flattening the pieces together to represent the clubs dedication to players and fans with continued development and success of the Sounders.[8]
