Fair enough......but then we haven't seen Nashville's graphics yet and they are to play "next year" as well. They could very well bring down the whole league.

Digby Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Still think metallic gold and dark green is a bit too drab for Portland! My kingdom for neither that nor highlighter green.

My kingdom for neither that nor highlighter green. Yeah, I can see why you, and probably some others feel that way about the metallic/brassy gold. Athletic gold would offer more contrast and would be a bit brighter. Personally I think the metallic/brassy gold is the perfect accent color for them, though, and I think most other Timbers fans agree. The brassy gold paired with the dark green is a more distinctive color scheme and is more in line with what the original NASL Timbers used. I think they’ve been smart to transition to the gold and a more retro-inspired aesthetic overall. And for reference, here’s the gold color that ColorWerx (now TruColor) has for the original NASL Timbers: Definitely a bit more golden than athletic gold, and pretty close (maybe even the same) to what the club is using now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 It definitely looks better on the jerseys; that sort of metallic-ness never shows up ideally in digital graphic form anyway (see also Philadelphia Union, no matter what shade they've used in their crest). Or I'll take my unpopular MLS color opinions to the grave with me. Portland needs athletic gold! New England needs a healthy dose of red as a secondary color! Too much light blue everywhere!

Definitely agree with you there. Their last two primary kits before the current one were steps in the right direction, and I didn’t even mind the red-heavy secondary kits from 2015/16 and 2017/18, either.

zigbazah Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 My random thought of the day is how MLS reminds me of Serie A. Two teams with sky blue, a red/black stripe team, a blue/black stripe team, a purple team, and a maroon team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Not exactly "metallic", but I do have the new color palette: (Not 100% certain on the color descriptions/names.) ...as opposed to the former NASL palette: These are confirmed colors; for those who don't know me, all of the Hex and RGB values I put up on my site correspond with current PANTONE Digital standards. That older palette was taken from an official Timbers logo sheet I obtained a few years back. As official as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That older palette was taken from an official Timbers logo sheet I obtained a few years back. As official as it gets. That’s good to know, both about the new color palette and the former NASL palette. Seeing both of the golds there, I’m surprised the new official gold color is that much darker than the NASL gold. As far as the color names/descriptions go, I’m pretty sure the green will still be called “Ponderosa Green”. For the gold, they’ve referred to it as “Ravens Gold” with their past two kit releases, so that’s likely what they’re calling it still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The broad centre stripe is a classic footy motif... but this is drab. Would look much better in the actual Ajax colour scheme actually. Southampton did this in the 80s (then repeated it last year for their primary kit), and it was truly wonderful: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendocfc Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 That Southampton kit is iconic. On the top 10 PL kits of all time. And indeed a great example of how to Ajax properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
