upperV03 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 29 minutes ago, Gothamite said: Surely somebody along the line noticed that the Red Bulls and MLS had the same color alignment before it was unveiled. I forgot about the Galaxy, who in the same span went from this: to this: Although that was part of a general overhaul. Still, the change indicates that the Red Bulls' change wasn't some sort of special exemption based on a previously-unnoticed resemblance to the official league version. I'm not saying that the colors of the team's respective league badges can't be changed, but I would guess that both the Red Bulls' and the Galaxy's new league badges replaced their predecessors and are now the officially colored league badges for those teams. My point is that since the Timbers' official colors aren't the darker green and gold that are being used on this coming season's primary kit, I could see there being a rule where the team must use their officially colored league badges on their primary kit. Or at least a rule that the league badges on the primary kit must contain the official colors of the club, which could be another explanation for why LA and RBNY were allowed to change.

That color flip for the Galaxy's league badge irked me a lot as a fan, hope they undo the change, as in all league banners (Drafts etc) it's still always blue and gold and not blue and white or gold and white. Looks better the old way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously some tweaking could be done to the gradients and logo clutter, respectively, but the color s are certainly attractive. Going back to the MLS shield talk, I love how each team wears it colored in their own style. It reminded me of the old CCM triple block logo that used to appear on hockey jersey hems.

TaylorMade Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 21 hours ago, upperV03 said: The Timbers' new primary kit for 2017 has already been teased by Merritt Paulson but the shot he provided did not give us a good look at the intricacies and details of the kit. Today the club's twitter account posted this image which seems to give us an idea of what some of those details will look like: As you can see, there appears to be some subtle horizontal striping (possibly even some diagonal striping if you look to the bottom right of the crest) woven into the fabric and the crest appears to have a spiraling effect which I would guess is meant to evoke the rings on the wood slabs that Timber Joey cuts off for goals and shutouts. Regardless, all signs are pointing to an absolutely beautiful new primary kit and I couldn't be happier as an avid fan of the club. And as a refresher, here's the original teaser provided by MP: It looks like a sublimated plaid pattern, probably to invoke a lumberjack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railhawks rebranded to North Carolina FC, in what has to be the most generic and boring logo ever. Both are pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 The red on the NCFC badge works because of the placement of the diagonal line. The Courage one looks random and stupid.

hendocfc Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Wouldn't be too surprised if it included a similar - albeit streamlined - collar: heard that a number of adidas teams use it (can't confirm as I haven't seen for myself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperV03 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 The new Timbers' primary kit has been officially unveiled. Apparently the kit "is made of a new engineered flannel material that creates the checkered look and feel." They absolutely nailed this IMO, the only flaw is the MLS badges not matching the color scheme of the kit, but it's a minor issue considering how beautiful and classy the rest of the kit is.

Digby Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 That looks better than I expected! Still would prefer a yellowish (rather than metallic) gold and I'll miss the white shorts. But the "flannel" look manages to look super classy while being so very Portland. (It also helps that Alaska Air has a nicer logo than they have in previous years.)
