There was a suggestion by an ignorant Las Vegas resident that if the Oakland Raiders relocate to Las Vegas that the team should change it's name and it's colors. I will keep her name off of this out of respect. Changing the name and colors of one of the most iconic franchises in NFL history is not only a ludicrous idea, but a thought that shows the true colors of what will happen if the Oakland RAIDERS move to Las Vegas. A city that has never been the home of an NFL franchise, or any major sports franchise that I am aware of, simply won't work, especially in the NFL. This is a city that is filled with tourists on a weekly basis, that will never be able to build a true fan base or home field advantage. Hell, most people leave Vegas on Sundays, the day of the most importance in the NFL. Not only will the move not work, it would be detrimental to our beloved RAIDERS. The ignorance of this Nevadan shows what will happen to our pride and joy should they move to the desert. Let's show this idiot what Raider Nation means to all of us and the pride in which we support our RAIDERS and our colors. The RAIDERS are easily one of the most recognizable franchises in all of sports. To suggest they change the name or the colors of our team is extremely indicative of the terrible fan base they would end up with there. Sign this and show these professional sports rookies what real fans are all about.

Signed,

Oakland's 12th Man
