The Rose City Riveters unveiled an NWSL Shield-themed tifo ahead of the Portland Thorns' 2017 home opener against the Orlando Pride Saturday.

The Riveters revealed the tifo moments after the Thorns were presented with the 2016 NWSL Shield at midfield at Providence Park. Portland won the NWSL Shield for being the best team in the 2016 NWSL regular season.

The Thorns organization also unveiled a banner at Providence Park to commemorate the NWSL Shield win.

The tifo featured the words, "Shields Up" behind the image of three women holding shields. Fans also held up individual shields in the stands.
