Portland Timbers to have a new logo for MLS Debut

Does a two-tone green palette not scare anyone else into thinking this could turn into a Milwaukee Bucks-like grotesquerie?

Not afraid at all - those were gorgeous uniforms, the best the Bucks ever wore. :D

Yeah, there goes the last of my respect for you :P

It's kind of the opposite of the way Vancouver went in that Portland is going from a simplified logo to a more detailed one. From this initial picture I can't really tell what is going on with the tree, is there a defined top? I do like the colors and the fact that the T axe will really standout on the jerseys.

Eh, it's a little too busy and in-your-face with both the axe and the wordmark. The tree imagery gets kinda lost for me. Don't get me wrong; this looks good. It's just that at this point, I like the old one better.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

I like it alright. I think they nailed it with the ax, but the text and "chevrons" seem a bit forced. Im sure it'll grow on me and the old badge will look antique once my eyes adjust. id like to see some alternates as well. I'd hope the name would be dropped on the shirt logo. Or at least add PTFC. Im going to the unveiling in the morning. i wish i wouldnt have peeked.

You really need to try coming to the board when you aren't high.

There's a lot of talk on the Timbers Army message board about some vociferous booing when this badge gets unveiled today. The Timbers, in partnership with Adidas, have scheduled a public unveiling in downtown Portland during halftime of the U.S.-England match, which they're showing at a downtown park.

It's a good badge on its own merits, but I have to agree that (unlike Vancouver) there was nothing wrong with the old one and it could've easily been imported to MLS. Maybe they can bring a "throwback" kit into their identity which uses the classic logo.
