Stumptown is all abuzz over the Portland Timbers billboards, the latest in the team's "No Pity in Rose City" ad campaign. The billboards feature Timbers' fans wielding axes, chainsaws and cross-saws -- all timber-falling equipment -- to deliver the message that opposing teams are going down.
Photos used in the Portland Timbers billboards are of local die-hard soccer fans. Photographer Chris Hornbecker did the photo shoots, but hey, there's nothing to the say the next face on a Portland Timbers' billboard can't be yours: So grab your chainsaw and head to the Rose City!
