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 secondary kit is due to change at the end of this year.

Primary kit

The 2017 primary kit was unveiled on January 11, 2017.[4] It features similar color styles as the 2014–2015 third kit, featuring a darker green and darker yellow colors.

Primary
TypeShirtShortsSocks
PrimaryDark green/gold with light green plaid styleDark green/goldDark green/gold

Secondary kit

The 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.
