Forest Pub: How Lumberjacks Shaped the Identity of Portland Soccer

Join Timber Jim and Timber Joey, the two legendary figures of the Portland Timbers Football Club, for a heartfelt conversation about how they helped shape the identity and spirit of soccer in Portland. From chainsaw stunts to the birth of the Victory Log tradition, Timber Jim and Timber Joey have used their role to spread a message of community, love, and connection. Featuring personal stories and historic photos, this fireside chat is a celebration of our forests, the legacy of love, and the rooted spirit that unites the Timbers.

Timber Jim (Jim Serrill) was the Portland Timbers’ mascot beginning in the 1970s. He thrillingly entertained fans with his chainsaw stunts and daring performances. A beloved symbol of Timbers tradition, he retired in 2008 after decades of spirited support.

Timber Joey (Joey Webber) carried on the legacy as the Portland Timbers’ mascot in 2008, carrying on the iconic log-sawing tradition after every goal. A real-life lumberjack, he represents the grit and passion of Portland’s soccer culture to this day.
