Oakland Raiders Franchise Information

Franchise History:
1995-present Oakland Raiders (NFL)
1982-1994 Los Angeles Raiders (NFL)
1970-1981 Oakland Raiders (NFL)
1960-1969 Oakland Raiders (AFL)

For a brief period, the new AFL team was known as the Senors but by the time the 1960 season started, the Oakland team was known as the Raiders. The origin of the Raiders name is not known but, since it is doubtful a fan contest would have been staged in Oakland since the first team would have to play in San Francisco, it is most likely the name was chosen by principal owner Chet Soda and his partners.
