Portland fans spent hundreds of hours making theirs by hand in a big warehouse at a mysterious location in North Portland. Seattle fans paid thousands of dollars to a company in Eastern Europe to make theirs.

Portland's wasn't even hoisted by the fans.

As one of the rope pullers, I can attest that it was hoisted by fans.

Portland's was most definitely hoisted by their fans. What I find conventient that Sounders fans forget is they couldn't even unveil theirs properly. The whole right side took twice as long as the left side to get in to place.

the Decades of Dominance tifo was created by hand

Portland- only 4 large overheads with only letters. The rest was hoisted with rope (less difficult and involves less supporters). The large card had great detail.

Seattle- 5 large overheads with 3 large drop down banners pulled tight by supporters. Only 1 hoisted banner. Regardless of comments above, all were hand painted by our supporters. Painting large portraits and the hand crushing the timbers logo is not simple painting. Ours was much larger and required more difficult coordination with more supporters involved. We won in my opinion. Timbers was great though.

Funny hearing all the claims the the ECS didn't make their tifo. It's not hard to find proof.

Both were good, but the detail in the King of Clubs is the most impressive of either display.

I have to agree that Seattle seemed a little too obsessed with the Timbers. The two color player portraits are nice but the most detail by far went into recreating the Timbers logo. And while Levesque's portrait was supposed to be the big middle finger to Portland you could hear Seattle fans collectively moan when he actually came onto the pitch from 200 miles away.
