There are numerous things that unite fans of the Portland Timbers, but perhaps nothing does so quite like the release of a new jersey.
The annual event seems to arise on social media each February, when RCTID comes together to debate the quality of the new Timbers kit. Arguments from fans tend to range from “best jersey we’ve ever had, and ever will have” to “literally the poop emoji on a t-shirt.”
The new 2021 Timbers primary jerseys are no exception. Even before their official unveiling on Tuesday, a reported leak making the rounds on the internet elicited some tepid reactions from Timbers fans online.
