Less about the soccer and more about being a Portland Timbers fan.

This is an old post from PTFZine 1.0. The focus of the web site has changed since then, but the old content remains. If you’re interested in the what and why, see this post.

Safeway has shad Timbers’ related promotions for several years now, that’s why you see the kids who walk out with the team onto the pitch wearing Safeway T-shirts. Recently I noticed a brand new Diego Chara cutout greeting me at the entrance of my local store, and I was surprised to see that it was a Modelo promo. I was a little bit excited for Diego, glad to see him making some well-deserved extra $, but it mirth have more to do with the Timbers hospitality packages. A few days later I returned to see sa large Jeff Attinella cutout inside a goal, this time with a Coors logo, affiliated with the Safeway/Albertsons Save & Score promotion. I promptly geeked out and stood in the middle of the aisle to take a picture. Ironically, I’ve seen Jeff in person at a few T2 matches and have never taken his picture…

Diego Chara, slightly smaller than life size.

This one even caught the eye of Sebastian Blanco.

Save & Score has a website.
