History of the Timbers

The Portland Timbers are one of the most storied teams in Major League Soccer. Founded in 2009, they have quickly become one of the most successful and beloved clubs in MLS history. From their passionate fan base to their iconic green and white kits, it is easy to see why so many people love this team.

Since joining MLS, the Timbers have enjoyed tremendous success on both a local and national level. They won their first major trophy with an impressive victory over Columbus Crew SC at home during the 2015 season that saw them lift the Lamar Hunt U.S Open Cup title for a second time since entering into MLS play four years prior - making them only 2nd club ever to win multiple titles from outside of North America’s top flight league system (MLS or NASL). The following year they went even further by winning another piece of silverware when they captured their first-ever Cascadia Cup after defeating Vancouver Whitecaps FC 3–2 away from home during regular season play, thus becoming just the fourth side ever to claim all three trophies available within US/Canadian soccer competition (MLS Supporters Shield + Canadian Championship + Cascadia Cup).

In 2017 Portland became champions again as part of a record-breaking run that saw them go unbeaten throughout the entire regular season en route to capturing the Western Conference title & eventually claiming the 2017 MLS cup championship after beating Atlanta United 2–0 at Mercedes Benz Stadium – thus becoming third team since 2000 join elite group ‘double winners’ having previously lifted 2013 USL Pro crown before moving up into premier division ranks six years later! This feat was made even more impressive due fact no other expansion franchise had accomplished such a feat in any other professional sport across North America either before or since then, which makes the achievement all more special for those involved with clubs today who continue to strive for greatness every campaign come out victorious once again soon enough!
