Arizona decides to bring the Raiders in to share the stadium to get the tourism necessary to pay for the stadium, the Cardinals get mad after a few years, and go to St. Louis.

If the Raiders go to San Antonio they could keep their colors & go as the Banditos or Desperados.

:ninja: edit: definitely Desperados so their abbreviation would be SAD :smith:

When the team began, there was a contest to name them and the winner was Oakland Seņors, but it ended up being changed by the time their first season started in 1960.

Having lived in Central TX and a fan of the Silver and Black as long as I've known about football, I really do feel this is the best move. I've been to Oakland to watch them play and even if they built a new stadium there, being in Oakland is not as good as being in Texas.

Plus considering Mark Davis is the sort of guy to do business from a Hooters, Texas is going to fuckin' blow his mind.

If he goes to Texas, we'll get a picture of him in a stetson and snakeskin boots and I will worship that picture as my new god.

Question is if the Chargers are moving now or if they move when the Stadium is done.

If they wait three years, it possibly gives San Diego time to get something done

He should wear a Stetson to cover that abomination of a haircut. Jerry should welcome the rivalry with the Raiders. If you recall, their preseason game which is usually played in Mexico is epic. They can play up the whole good vs evil side of things. It'd make for something far more interesting than the non-existent relationship/rivalry between the Texans and Cowboys.

I bet they switch to the old colors when they move into the new stadium in a few years, thus making LA fans have to buy all their merch twice.
