Less about the soccer and more about being a Portland Timbers fan.

This is an old post from PTFZine 1.0. The focus of the web site has changed since then, but the old content remains. If you’re interested in the what and why, see this post.

What better way to start the new year than to take a look at some pics from years gone past, thanks to 1970’s Soccer USA. It’s a great page to follow on FB. 7 vintage NASL Timbers images after the jump.

This one below… I didn’t recognize the kits at all. The logo on the crest had me thinking it was another team, but it shows up in the team photos in 1976. I’m not going to lie, this period in Timbers history predated my interest in soccer, and this kit is not one you see in most of the readily available historical Timbers photos.

Another photo with the same kit. If you were just glancing at it you’d think int was the Cosmos.
