The Portland Timbers 2018 away jersey uses a new 1990s-inspired design from adidas that was first seen via the Sweden World Cup home kit. It has a ribbed v-shaped collar reminiscent of the mid-nineties.
It has a white base and is detailed with green side stripes. The green and gold of the Timbers badge appears at the collar and sleeve cuffs.
The look is inspired by the Timbers home shirts of the 1970s when they were an NASL club. “TIMBERS” is screenprinted in green on the kit’s signoff area.
