Feb 29, 2024, by Phan Tich Giay
- Partnership Termination: The Portland Timbers ended their sponsorship deal with DaBella due to misconduct allegations made public in a court filing.
- Vetting Failure: The Timbers' pre-deal vetting process did not uncover the allegations until after the partnership was finalized and one match played.
- Future Sponsorship: The Timbers' front-of-shirt space could remain blank or feature the "Timbers" name for the rest of the season.
After just one match with their new front-of-shirt sponsor, the Portland Timbers immediately ended their partnership with DaBella following allegations of misconduct by DaBella.

Portland Timbers End Corporate Partnership With Dabella
According to the latest announcement, the Portland Timbers have terminated their partnership with DaBella (with immediate effect) due to DaBella's allegations of misconduct at the company included in a court filing that was made public on 23 February.
The Timbers and a third-party firm conducted a thorough pre-deal vetting process, and the club did not learn of the filing until Feb. 27.
The end of the DaBella partnership ensures Timbers' responsibility to their fans to transparently reflect and uphold the values and expectations of the community.
New sponsor DaBella has only appeared in one recent match between Portland Timbers and Colorado Rapids.
New Portland Timbers Front-of-Kit Prediction
Following the end of the DaBella partnership, Timbers fan
Jonah Henderson (@JonahNHenderson) predicted the names that could become the Portland Timbers' new front-of-kit sponsor.
The area on the front of the Portland Timbers shirt could be empty for the rest of the season if they don't find a new sponsor.
Or maybe they'll put 'Timbers' on it as a backup solution. That would be very appropriate for their third shirt in 2024.
