Portland Timbers - 2016 secondary jersey - crest

Okay, so Nat Borchers and Jack Jewsbury may have leaked the look of the Timbers' new secondary kit for 2016.

But today, Friday, January 29, you can finally score your own--it's on sale officially now.


Let's take a look at the front and back:

Like last season's, the main colors are red and black, but this time around, the red appears in gradient horizontal stripes. And, probably most importantly, there's that sweet, sweet star representing an MLS Cup championship.


Here are the other details of this year's jersey.


The fading red hoops from top to bottom are decorated with traditional thorns...

Finally, the saying "No pity in the Rose City," which starts on the external neck tape, continues into the inside:

The Timbers will sport their spiffy new secondary kits in their first regular season away game on March 13, when they visit the San Jose Earthquakes (7 p.m. ET, FS1 and MLS Live).
