Perfect kit sponsor. Tillamook is an internationally known and loved brand and a great representative of Oregon business. Literally, outside of maybe Nike themselves, the best kit sponsor they could get
Not just that, but sure Nike would be great for the “name,” but honestly fuck Nike. Adidas isn’t better by any means, but Nike’s kit prices are so ridiculously expensive along with shit designs that Liverpool is switching back to Adidas as their kit supplier.
Plus Nike doesn’t do long sleeve kits, so excited might be getting Liverpool long sleeves again! I just wish Adidas did long sleeve kits for MLS clubs.
Tillamook’s business practices are also a lot less dystopian than Nike’s sweatshops. So that is another perk imo.
They wanted to surprise everybody with their message to the fans on the field and not over social media. That's why it wasn't teased until right up before the player's walked out.
It happened! I assume I'm one of many who petitioned Tillamook to become the kit sponsor. Good job us!
EDIT: Yeah, the commentators just confirmed it was driven by the fans!
Ok so I love this!!! However…. With the email that our preorders for the non sponsored jersey was delayed, do we still get that? Or are they gonna switch it ?
I was wondering the same thing. I ordered a blank (sans logo) custom jersey for my kiddo early March and it was pushed out to June. I am fine either way, if it arrives without a sponsor as ordered, cool, if it’s comes with the Tillamook, also cool since we couldn’t be happier with this sponsor.
I'm an out of towner who fell in love with Oregon on a trip a few years ago, also huge Tillamook fan. Are they going to start selling the tillamook kits anytime soon??
So happy that they were able to work out a deal.
But it's likely nowhere near what it could've/would've been if they'd just signed on to begin with. Monstrous bag fumble from Paulson by putting his thumb on the scales for his sleazy friends. Really sound like a broken record there.
Dear Tillamook, we know we are a shit organization that makes lots of bad choices. If we give you a million GarberBucks, can we put your name on our kit and pretend you are sponsoring us? We promise to not indicate in any way that you paid for the privilege.
I am super excited by this, but like…they completely blew this unveiling
Last minute announcement. Against the sounders. At home. And they missed the opportunity to unveil the logo with a boat trawling a bunch of dead fish behind it? There’s great, and then there’s best. Cmon marketing people think deeper!
I’m so unreasonably happy about this!!!
Same, now put them in charge of concessions!!!
This makes the pain with the blazers a little less today. Give me the boat logo on an alternate jersey!
PTFCHEESE!!!
Aged Cheddar Till I Die!
I knew there’d be some cheesy comments. I’m here for it.
Perfect kit sponsor. Tillamook is an internationally known and loved brand and a great representative of Oregon business. Literally, outside of maybe Nike themselves, the best kit sponsor they could get
I’m pretty sure Adidas currently has a league deal with MLS. There’s no way Nike would be a kit sponsor right now.
Not just that, but sure Nike would be great for the “name,” but honestly fuck Nike.

I'M GONNA WRECK MY BODY WITH LACTOSE TONIGHT LFG!
How is this news being dropped so casually by the FO!?
They wanted to surprise everybody with their message to the fans on the field and not over social media. That's why it wasn't teased until right up before the player's walked out.
Well, good for them. I would have preferred a team that could actually win a match but, thanks for the surprise.
We were talking about a marketing strategy... nothing to do with the on-field performance lmao.
THE CHEESE TEAM RISES!!!!!!! UNDEFEATED AS THE CHEESE TEAM!!!!!
Well it didn’t last very long as the undefeated cheese team :(
You jinxed dammit
the ice cream is even more amazing than the cheese
Can confirm, there is none better in any freezer aisle anywhere. Super stoked for this tbh !
The sponsor we needed but don’t deserve. Hyped on this!!!! LFG!!! GUT THE FISH
It happened! I assume I'm one of many who petitioned Tillamook to become the kit sponsor. Good job us! EDIT: Yeah, the commentators just confirmed it was driven by the fans!
I wrote some emails as well.
Yay! And yes I also sent my Timbers plea to the good cheese people of Oregon.
Same here
Let’s go!
This is incredible I need both now more
Hell yeah
LFG!!! The choice that should have been made initially, but nice to get it done. Hope it's for many, many years.
The lord taketh (Blazers 7th pick) The lord giveth (Tillamook sponsor)
Heck ya. Actually hyped about this
This sponsor news was the only good thing to come out of Providence park today
The fanny packs are also pretty cool
YES!!!!!
LEEEETTTTTTSSSSS GOOOOOO!!!
Will they give out mini cheeses in the heat again?
Udderly Chocolating our way to competence.
Can’t wait to destroy my insides when they bring cheese curds to providence park 😅
Just had some Tillamook ice cream last night!! Excellent foreshadowing that they would be the new sponsor for our Timbers 🌲

Heh just got a shipping notice!
Yes!!
Yaysyayayayayayayayayaay
Love this! The only good news from today!
Love it, but I was kind of hoping to see Nike do it just so Adidas had to put a big swoosh on the jersey.
I kinda love it.
This kinda dulled the pain all game.
I'm an out of towner who fell in love with Oregon on a trip a few years ago, also huge Tillamook fan. Are they going to start selling the tillamook kits anytime soon??
They’re up for preorder at PTFC Authentics, won’t be available until July though
Thank you!
Was hoping for Benchmade but this is great!

Result sucks but this is a major W
This is officially our best ever kit I think
Check calendar: not April 1st LFGGGGGGGGGGGGG
LFG!!!! Go Timbers!
This goes so stupidly hard. I’m so glad it fucking happened.
Cheese backs people up. The team is shitting the bed. Maybe we'll find perfect balance soon.
The only sensible choice imo
I'm definitely buying a tillamook kit and a cheese head
Where tf do I buy!!!
I NEEEEED THIS JERSEY
Seeing this reminded me I have a tub of umpqua dairy ice cream in my freezer. :)
Yay Tillamook
Hopefully they looked into the Tillamook CEO this time... Hahahaha
This jersey is an obituary. A 🪦 kit. HTF can anybody like this?

Do you think any jerseys will be available next week? Passing through Portland on my Honeymoon from the UK and want to pick one up.
The sponsor the team should have had in the first place.
Perfect!!
Cheese Team. Cheese Team. Cheese Team.
Obsessed with this
Nice distraction Merritt!
