# Rose City ‘Til I Die: Portland Timbers’ Flickr photostream crowdsources PDX’s love of soccer

\[HTML2\]Portland is a town of many loves. There are the obvious ones. The coffee. The beer. The food. The books. And the technology. But some folks outside the town might not be as well phrased in one of the most well-loved sports in the city: soccer. Or to be more specific: The [Portland Timbers](http://www.portlandtimbers.com/ "Portland Timbers").

When [billboards of “Timbers fans” began popping up all over town](http://www.portlandtimbers.com/news/2010/12/timbers-ads-feature-locals "Timbers ads feature locals"), there were any number of “I could do that” claims from locals. Well, the Timbers heard those claims too. And they took the opportunity to [ask their fans to do just that](http://news.yahoo.com/video/portlandorkgw-15751112/timbers-ask-fans-to-pose-for-photos-24001769 "Timbers ask fans to pose for photos"). Now, those images of true Portland Timbers’ fans are available on the [Timbers’ Flickr photostream](http://www.flickr.com/photos/portlandtimbers/ "Portland Timbers Flickr photostream").

\[HTML4\]

Just another interesting way that Portland is using technology, social media, and crowdsourcing to make the city such an awesome place to live.
