The Portland Timbers will unveil the 2015 MLS Cup Championship banner at their home opener against the Columbus Crew on March 6 at Providence Park.

The Timbers beat the Crew 2-1 on December 6 to win their first-ever MLS Cup title.

Jim Serrill, the Timbers' original mascot fondly known as Timber Jim, and Joey Webber, the club's current mascot, known as Timber Joey, will help unveil the banner.

The Timbers will also celebrate their MLS Cup victory at the game by giving away commemorative MLS Cup Championship pennants to the first 7,500 fans to arrive at Providence Park and giving supporters the opportunity to see and take photos with the MLS Cup trophy at the game.

The Timbers have more details about the celebration on their website.
