Season review

March

2016 home opener, Portland Timbers vs. Columbus Crew at Providence Park, March 6, 2016

The reigning champions started their season against Columbus Crew SC. It was the fourth consecutive home opener being the first match of the season for the Timbers. As it has been since 2011, the Timbers Army led the national anthem and raised a tifo remembering the MLS Cup final victory with the words "Kiss. Dance. Love. You always remember your first." The Timbers were able to start strong with Valeri making the first goal in the 23rd minute from a free kick just outside the 18-yard box. Columbus would soon return the blow with a goal that came out of nothing. In the 68th minute, Higuaín was able to control the ball that lightly bounced off of Taylor's back and finish with a bicycle kick to equalize Columbus Crew SC. The Timbers answered in the 79th minute with a goal from Adi, who recovered the deflection from goalkeeper Steve Clark that blocked Asprilla's low shot. The Timbers won, 2–1.

The Timber's felt the loss of Liam Ridgewell who was ruled out with a hamstring injury shortly before the San Jose away match. Jermaine Taylor would be moved into the center back position due to Ridgewell's injury and give Zack Valentin his first start for the Timbers as he filled Taylor's position at left back. The Timber's would fall 2–1 with a late goal from substitute Jack McInerney.

Jack Barmby was announced to join the Timbers on loan from Leicester City and Darren Mattocks was signed from Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

The Timbers faced off with Real Salt Lake at home for a 2–2 draw. Despite playing against a 9-man Salt Lake squad, out-shooting them 26–7, and having 17 corners to their 4, the Timbers were unable to steal the victory and had to settle for the draw. Darren Mattocks was subbed in during this match, making it his first match since joining the Timbers. Fanendo Adi was the lone scorer, putting the ball in the back of the net in the 79th minute and converted a penalty in the 84th minute.

April

The Timbers started April on the road in Orlando, Florida, as they faced the current top team in the Eastern Conference, Orlando City FC. The team continued to tinker with the left back position, this time starting Jack Barmby instead of Valentin, giving Barmy his first start and appearance for the Timbers. The Timbers would suffer a harsh defeat of 4–1 with Fanendo Adi's penalty being blocked and allowing Orlando to convert their penalty. Jack McInerney was able to perform a late goal again, preventing Orlando's shutout.

The Timbers continued their search for a win on the road, this time against LA Galaxy. Chris Klute returned to the first team from Timbers 2, getting his first appearance as the squad continued to find a replacement for the left back position. The Timbers also changed their formation for this match from a 4–3–3 to a 4–2–3–1 putting Jack Jewsbury with Chara in the defensive midfielder positions. in the 52nd minute, Diego Valeri was able to send the ball to Fanendo Adi who managed a nice angle shot to send the ball inside the far end of the net. In the 74th minute, the Darlington Nagbe had to be carried off the pitch and return to the locker room via wheelchair due to a serious foul by Nigel de Jong to the ankle, who managed to escape with only a yellow card. Later on during the week, the MLS Disciplinary Committee would rule it was a red and de Jong was handed a 3-game suspension. Nagbe would later be ruled with an ankle sprain, contusion. Unfortunately, the Timbers would have to settle for the draw due to an own goal from Nat Borchers in the 83rd minute, continuing the Timbers search for a win on the road.

The Timbers continued their busy week, this time going against FC Dallas on a rainy Wednesday evening, 3 days after their draw with LA. This would be the first time the Timbers would have to play against a former player, Maximiliano Urruti. The Timbers would feel his presence as he made two key turnovers to give FC Dallas 2 goals, although he would not score any himself. Darren Mattocks prevented FC Dallas' clean sheet by scoring in the 67th minute, giving him his first goal as a Timber player. The Timbers fell 3–1 to FC Dallas.

The Timbers played their 3rd and final match of the week, taking a victory at home against San Jose Earthquakes. Jack McInerney got his first start and scored the first goal of the match in the 52nd minute. Fanendo Adi followed with two more goals in the 65th and 90th+9 minute. Diego Valeri would eventually get a 2nd yellow for kicking the ball away and accidentally hitting Anibal Goody in the face.

For their final match of April, the Timbers traveled to New England. Still plagued with injuries and a red card suspension, the Timbers had to make some new roster changes for this match. The Timbers switched to a 4–4–2, starting Jake Gleeson for an injured Kawarsey and Jewsbury would stand in for a suspended Valeri. Nagbe and Asprilla made their returns for this match. At the 61st minute, the Timbers subbed in Jack Barmby as a forward and scored 3 minutes later as his shot deflected on the ground hard and chipped over the keeper. In the 89th minute, Jermaine Taylor sent the ball into his own net, leveling New England. The final score was 1–1 giving the Timbers a point on the road and still looking for their first clean sheet of the season.

The Timbers would win it as the final goal was struck by Diego Valeri, which also happened to be his birthday that day, from a free kick around 22 yards out. With the help of backup goalkeeper, Jake Gleeson, who made 4 amazing saves, the Timbers would take 3 points at home with a 2–1 win.

Notes:
  1. CONCACAF Champions League
    Selection Procedure
    • Four US-based teams qualify for the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League:
      1. The winner of the MLS Cup 2016 (Seattle Sounders FC);
      2. The winner of the Supporters' Shield (FC Dallas);
      3. The regular season conference champion that did not win the Supporters Shield (New York Red Bulls);
      4. The winner of the 2016 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup (FC Dallas; already qualified, so berth passes to Colorado Rapids)
      Should a team qualify through more than one method, or should a team from Canada occupy any MLS qualifying place, the next best US team in the overall table would take its place.
      One Canada-based team qualifies for the Champions League (NOTE: Canadian teams cannot qualify through MLS):
      1. The winner of the 2016 and 2017 Canadian Championship (Toronto FC)

MLS Cup Playoffs

The Timbers did not defend their 2015 MLS Cup win. They went into the final match of the season needing their first road win of the 2016 season to clinch a playoff berth. The Timbers lost the match against the Vancouver Whitecaps, 4–1, in what was a "shameful ending to a deeply disappointing season."[3]

Kits

Kits are used for a period of two years. Afterwards, a new kit is released. The year for each kit is offset so that one of the two changes each year. The primary kit is due to change at the end of this year.

Primary kit

The first kit was released in 2015 and was used until the end of the 2016 season. It features a large chevron on the chest with its primary colors being dark green, light green, and white. It features the sponsor Alaska Airlines on the front. In 2016, the first kit was altered to have Alaska's Airline's logo changed to their new logo, which just uses "Alaska". The kit also received a golden star, which is formal for any club who wins the MLS Cup the previous year. Inside the star can be found a "15" to commemorate the 2015 year.

Secondary kit

The new secondary kit will be used from 2016 until the end of the 2017 season. It features a red fading to black hoop style with each fade's border being the shape of thorns which represents Portland's nickname, the Rose City. The kit however is not full hoops, the back is a solid red where the player's name and number are featured. The kit also has an alternative Alaska Airlines logo, however, with "Airlines" in small font below the logo.
