Cian and the Timbers

Beginning this year, the Timbers, our minor league (not sure if that is the proper soccer term, but it get the concept across) will be converting to a major league soccer team. It's a big deal and the Timbers Army is excited. To celebrate this big conversion, there are billboards all over town with real Timbers fans on them. One of the real fans happens to go to the school where I work. He has enjoyed all the publicity and I enjoy seeing him at the foot of the Broadway bridge when I ride home from work.
See this link for an interview with Cian and a picture of another billboard where he is shown by himself:

You can also see this local news interview with him and some of his friends talking about the billboards:
