Microsoft stays on-side with Seattle Sounders – report

Microsoft has signed a two-year extension to its shirt sponsorship deal with Major League Soccer team Seattle Sounders, according to GeekWire.com.

Under the renewed terms, the Sounders confirmed to the website that its shirts will continue to promote Microsoft’s Xbox games console through 2016.

Xbox has held the Sounders’ front-of-shirt branding space since it joined MLS in 2009. Microsoft’s initial four-year agreement was extended for another season in September 2013.
