Quote:True story. The original name for the Raiders was the Señors. So this makes sense. The original owner used to jokingly call people señor like people now use the word dude or bro. When he bought the team, he gave them that ridiculous name until the media panned it for a week or two and he changed it to the Raiders. They weren't silver and black originally either. Cannot remember the colors, but I want to green, red and yellow. Not sure, but it was a hideous combo.
