DustDevil61 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Interesting. So at one time, Al Davis was considering a 3rd jersey, at least according to that second link. http://i.imgur.com/Pyc5qRH.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/RDXvxFE.gif LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I have yet to see a grey jersey look good. Simply looks dirty, old, etc. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I have a hard time believing the second link is legit. If any team considered an alternate in the 1970s... which is highly unlikely in and of itself... the Raiders would be pretty far down that list. Knowing what I do about Al Davis, it's more likely that he'd have tried to sue the league so they could wear their black jerseys for every game.

OnWis97 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 If that guy thinks he's getting six figures for the jacket, he's nuts.

BBTV Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I have yet to see a grey jersey look good. Simply looks dirty, old, etc.I disagree. I think gray looks great - both football and basketball. Silver looks dirty (see Patriots, New England.) "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Gothamite Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 The gray jersey alone isn't half bad. But paired with the Raiders silver pants? That's what makes me very skeptical that the jersey is an authentic prototype. Monochrome wasn't fashionable at the time (wasn't considered a "pro" look), so Al Davis would have had to introduce black pants. What's the likelihood that a proposed jersey and pants would have gone unreported until now? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Gothamite Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 How can you have a 'game worn prototype'?We have a situation like that with the Packers right now. Some players have been wearing the new jerseys the NFL is testing, but they aren't standard yet.If Davis had one player take the field in a pre-season game to test out a proposed new jersey, then I think it would fulfill both parts.

ohenry Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks for the Uniwatch update...OHenry, uniwatch picked this up?Williehaha yea actually... Two interesting Raiders-related items were recently posted on the Chris Creamer board: a prototype alternate jersey (seems fishy to me, but someone paid $861 for it) and an extremely overpriced but nonetheless gorgeous Jim Otto sideline jacket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old School Fool Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Raiders could wear all silver, and it would work in my opinion. I love using the combo in Madden games.But what the Raiders SHOULD do is introduce black pants and have a blackout. It'd be sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
