Our Cascadia Cup Rivals are donning some new duds.
The Portland Timbers creative marketing team has been hard at work this past year, they churned out several brilliant adverts in advance of their re-brand. While I quite liked their re-brand, apparently the Timbers Army didn't appreciate the "cartoony" look of it. At the unveiling of the new cresting the Timbers Army boo'ed boisterously. After much discussion between the T.A. and the clubs front office, the suits went back to the drawing board and tweaked the new logo.
Today the Timbers however appear to have hit a home run. Initially the leaked pics of the kit available from MLS Rumors appeared awkward. After watching their "Runway on the Runway" opinions have certainly changed.
Two tones of green on the front, separated by the clubs classic chevrons down the middle.
Then minds were blown!
In a bold move, the club went with a red secondary kit as a nod to their nickname "The Rose City". It will be interesting to see the reception the new kit gets from the majority of the clubs fans. For now all things seem to be coming up Roses...
