Like a hiker emerging from low-hanging boughs in the forests of Mount Hood — or Homer Simpson slowly backing into a hedge, depending on your take — the Portland Timbers’ newest jersey is here.
Titled “Nature Unites,” the concept was inspired by the wild spaces of Oregon and the strength of its forests — and fittingly released on the state’s 165th birthday. It signals a new chapter for the team, which looks to put down roots and regain a foothold in MLS under new manager Phil Neville who took over the role in November.
Players like Evander (rocking the new No. 10) and Juan David Mosquera (who recently signed a contract extension) will first wear the kit in-match against D.C. United at Providence Park on Saturday, March 2.
