Timbers Army trolls Seattle's tifo troubles with Simpsons-themed signs

Timbers Army sign - Simpsons "I'm a tifo" - teasing Seattle

You can always count on some quality banter when the Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders meet up, and the Timbers Army did not disappoint when Seattle visited Providence Park on Sunday.


Taking aim at the decidedly meta take on the tifo concept shown by Sounders' supporters – the “Rickroll” display – at these teams' meeting at CenturyLink Field last week, the TA used two iconic characters from “The Simpsons” to poke fun at their rivals.



Yes, that's Ralph Wiggum and Nelson Muntz garbed in the colors and crests of the most hateful rivalry in North American soccer.


Clearly the Rose City believes that the “Rickroll” idea wasn't quite all there.
