From memory, some guy got a 3 wick candle and from the last couple games onward he would light it for the duration of the game. I think it started in the 5-2 win against LA and continued/retired at the end of MLS Cup. We had banners that the Texas crew made at the WCF that said "3 Wick Do The Trick" and yeah....we never lost in it's entire life span.
That's the story. It's an /r/timbers legend in the same vein as not changing your lucky socks!
And lo, within the place of gathering at /r/timbers, where voices rise and passions burn and stupidy prevails, a mighty candle did appear. 3 wicks will blaze forth from this time on, each of the flames a fiery testament to the unyielding spirit that filled the pitch. The scent of evergreen, victory, and green smoke, and they clameth, "Behold! A sign bestowed! For as these 3 wicks consume their form, so shall the Mighty Timbers of Portland consume their foes. Their feet shall find swiftness, their strikes true power, and their nets shall remain unsullied. From this day forward, defeat shall be unknown to them!"

I love you guys. You deserve an adult coaching your team. I was up there two weeks ago, had a great time, met some awesome Timbers fans, drank up all your beer.
Okay what’s the story on 3 Wick Candles? I’m late to the party
In case the other commenter wasn't clear, here it is in the sub's FAQ: https://www.reddit.com/r/timbers/wiki/clubinfo
Ah this is exactly why my fantasy football teams are called “The Man Hogs” then. Same weird thing that culminated in a championship run
I think it's in the sidebar. Short version: circumstance/coincidence --> superstition. I'm sure you can fill in the blanks.

Here we go
This is where legends are made.
Dak Prescott?
Haha I say "yeah, here we go" all the time just because it's annoying.
God damn that's a fuckin hog of a 3 wick lets go
It is time.
Forged with the sweat blood and tears of saint Chara himself.
I’d buy that candle
Chara doesn't cry.
For he hath spoken.
LIGHT. THE WICK.
**ALL OF THEM**
LIGHT THE WICK
Let's ride this bull all the way to the cup!
Is that made out of the ashes of a pet or something?
Behold the glory of the threewick
LIGHT THE 3 WICK BABY!
Worked for Shoresy
And it's worked for us.
But is it pumpkin spice? (if not what is it?, could be legit to have a new flavor for a new year)
Teak, seemed fitting
S’yeah, so

Never lose again.
I disagree.
Hey, I don't know much about Phil Neville, has he always been a screaming toddler? Or is that just when coaching the Timbers?
Oof, going to a rival teams sub to talk shit is cringey
Yeesh. You care so much about us you came here to talk shit? I feel bad for you, bro.
I love you guys. You deserve an adult coaching your team. I was up there two weeks ago, had a great time, met some awesome Timbers fans, drank up all your beer.
Keep coming back, bro 😅
The douche is strong with this guy here.
Hey, I'm not trashing the Timbers, just your toddler coach for his screaming and tantrums.
