Portland Lagers
The 7th baseball team anointed a team is the Portland Lagers. After Seattle was appointed a franchise it was only a matter of time until cross state Portland placed a bid. Being within the same division it looks as if a rivalry is already in the making between the Metros and the Lagers. Portland's team is named after the record the city holds. They are home to the most total breweries and independent microbreweries of any city in the world with 58 active breweries within the city limits. There is no better nickname suited for such a team.
The color scheme for the Lagers precisely reflects the city as well as team. The tall conifers, mainly Douglas fir, along Oregon's rainy west coast contrast with the lighter-timbered and fire-prone pine and juniper forests covering portions are perfectly represented with the forest green. The light cream/tan is significant to the wheat which is found in lager. To compliment these colors a red wine is also used. Portland is also another traditional team when it comes to jersey design with a bold red wine placket and sleeve stripe. On the left sleeve you will find a barrel in which represent's the Lager's identity. "Lagers" is angled across the home while "Portland" is angled across the road. "PL" can be found centered on both home and away ball caps to represent the teams name.
