The 2025 Thorns are building their new identity
The team discusses this year's rebuild
Retirements, absences, and injuries have left many wondering if the youth and inexperience that’s on the field this year will be too much for the Thorns to overcome in notching a successful 2025 season.
However, with the season just kicking off, one question seems to still hang in the balance — what is the identity of this year’s Portland Thorns?
Maybe it was best said by Christine Sinclair herself: this is new era Thorns.
In Friday’s post-game press conference, Reilyn Turner and Sam Hiatt echoed Sinc’s sentiment by highlighting the unique ways in which this year’s team is rebuilding the legacy of the Thorns dynasty.
