Concept
During the Timbers and Thorns current season, I will share my journey here in Green Is the Color, as I write stories and record interviews for podcasts, with and about the events and people that link us over the last 50 years, together through soccer, the Timbers and Thorns, and each other—and I’ll always add updates on my quest to find Mr. Kick It!.
Nuts and Bolts
Research, podcasts, interviews, anecdotes, and more from the last 50 years of soccer in Portland.
