Timbers drop new home kit

Preseason isn’t but a few days old, but the start of the season isn’t that far off the horizon. Last year about this time, the Portland Timbers dropped their new, all-white, second strip — but this year it’s all about the primary home kit.

The Timbers released the kit in conjunction with Alaska Airlines, their ongoing kit sponsor. Here’s a look, modeled by Diego Valeri.

People have been clamoring for hoops, and it looks as though the wish has been granted. These are smart-looking kits — just look at Diego looking all majestic in the new green and gold — but they weren’t done yet: They also released the four goalkeeper kits for the 2019 season, thanks to the Timbers Kit Man, Sam Younie.

I’m partial to the blue and black kits myself. How about you?

So there you have it, brand new kits for the 2019 season.
