History


The Timbers announced the formation of their USL Pro team at a press conference on October 14, 2014. Jay Vidovich, long-time Wake Forest head coach and two-time NSCAA National Coach of the Year, was hired as T2's head coach on December 18, 2014.[4][5] Timbers 2 held an open tryout in February 2015. It was announced on February 19 that there are six players currently signed to Timbers 2.[6] Their home games were played at Merlo Field, a soccer-specific stadium at the University of Portland for their first two seasons. They now share Providence Park with their parent club, starting in 2017.[7]


In T2's first season, the team finished in 8th place in the Western Conference of the league table with 11 wins, 15 losses, and 2 ties. Kharlton Belmar was named USL Rookie of the Year and selected for the All-League Second Team.[8] Jay Vidovich resigned to become head coach of the University of Pittsburgh.[9] Assistant Coach Andrew Gregor was hired to replace him on January 6, 2016.[10]


T2 in 2016 had finished in ninth place in the Western Conference. Midway towards the end of the season, T2 had attempted to make a comeback to clinch the final spot for the USL playoffs which increased from the top six to eight teams in each conference. Timbers 2 competed against Arizona United in their final game of their season. Although the team had defeated Arizona, it was not enough to secure the final spot for a playoff berth due to Orange County winning in their final game with a better goal difference than T2.[11]



Badge and crest


T2's logo has the same axe that is used in their parent counterpart's logo. The shape of their logo and design were once used for the USL Pro Portland Timbers.
