What is ECS?
Emerald City Supporters (ECS) was founded in 2005 and is the largest independent supporter group of the Seattle Sounders. On match days, we stand in the ECS section (121-123) and push our boys to victory with our songs, flags, and large displays. If you’re interested in joining us in our support and being part of the match, we invite you to stand with us!
Songs
We welcome you to join us in singing for the boys! Below are the three songs we sing at traditional times during each match. For other songs, check out our song list.
Seattle
(Sung at Kick, this song celebrates our love for our city)
The bluest skies you’ve ever seen are in Seattle
And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle
Like a beautiful child, growing up, free and wild
Full of hopes and full of fears, full of laughter, full of tears (beers)
Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle. . . in Seattle!
Roll on Columbia
(Sung at the 12th minute, this song commemorates scoring our first MLS goal)
Roll on Columbia, roll on
Roll on Columbia, roll on
Your power is turning the darkness to dawn
So roll on Columbia, roll on
Sounders ’til I Die
(Sung at the 74th minute, this song honors our love for the club)
I’m Sounders ‘til I die
I’m Sounders ‘til I die
I know I am, I’m sure I am
I’m Sounders ‘til I die
Tifo
Tifo is short for the Italian word tifoso, meaning supporter. It is used as a general term to describe flags, banners, confetti, balloons, paper rolls, scarves, and any display that supports your club.
We encourage all of our members to make and bring tifo to the match. For big matches, we often create larger displays or choreographies in a more organized fashion.
