I dont hate it... honestly, reminds me of the TO team
with the T and the shield
but the fans obviously do....
perhaps too much $$$ for so little change?
I went to Univ of Cincinnati and everyone was livid when we changed our logo because they talked about how much $ was put into focus groups, etc...
new
old

Why do NA football teams have to have these shitty names anyways? Cant they just do it like Europe and have nicknames?
Seriously, the "Timbers" "whitecaps" "wizards" "galaxy" --- that shit is so retarded.

A football team named after a load of planks should be easy to beat.

Why couldn't they find someone in Portland to design it?

is there a hidden penis in this logo or something? what the hell is so wrong with it? Looks fine. They were already booing it even before they fully showed it.
- Because it was leaked the night before the the Timbers Army had been passing it along online all night.dMullins

you think maybe people are bummed it's an axe and the hippies can't handle the deforestation?
Or am i reading to far into it?
- the previous logo also had an axe.iCanHasQBN
- Too far into it, since the old logo was an axe too.dMullins

"...including a new team ligature conceived and designed by members of the Timbers Army."
So the fans are designing the logo now?
Appeasing the client is one thing. Appeasing their audience is another. This seems like a "please just let this go away" move on behalf of the design agency to me. This stinks of surrender and an "anything to make everyone happy" move - which we can pretty much all attest to - results in a mediocre product.Goodluck to them though.
