I def don't think the name needs changing...I love Stumptown Footy! Just would be great if logos/colorways were more inclusive of 1 of the 2 teams that drives a majority of the interaction content here (I wasn't gonna go there, but thanks for sayin' so.)

It radiates throughout the site, honestly. I mean, there was a pretty major Timbers story that dropped yesterday, and...there's been complete and utter silence from STF about it (and side note as a paid member, site managers - I'm not thrilled about that). New Thorns kits dropped the other day, and a story came out about it same day, and there were 250+ comments about it, within that same day.
And again - I'm not complaining about that! It's wonderful. I love that the Thorns community that has built and grown here is so engaged and involved, and I learn a lot about the Thorns here. It speaks well of what Portland as a city and a sports community is and is capable of.
But we're looooong past the point where this site, which did originally start as a Timbers site, is that in a majority any more, and it's time the branding of the site reflects that.
Some Mt. Hood, some Portland Oregon sign, some Cascadia imagery, a Portlandia sculpture background, the St John's bridge...there's a ton that a good graphic artist (who is most definitely not me!) could do to make this site more Portland- or Oregon-centric and less strictly green-and-gold, and I would love to see it happen.
