Caleb Porter and his Portland Timbers team are looking ahead to 2016, but they recently received a nice reminder of what was accomplished in 2015: championship rings.
Portland pulled of a historic first title win for the franchise when the Timbers beat Columbus Crew SC 2-1 in December, 2015, in the MLS Cup finals.
Along with the Championship banner in Providence Park, the Portland Timbers website revealed that owner Merritt Paulson, GM and president of soccer Gavin Wilkinson, Timbers head coach Caleb Porter and president of business operations Mike Golub wanted something else to commemorate the achievement.
