    Why don’t the Oakland Raiders wear throwback uniforms from their AFL inaugural season of 1960? That would be black helmets without a logo, black jerseys with curved white numbers trimmed in yellow-gold and with sleeve stripes, and white pants. Of course this is “pre-Al Davis and Davis doesn’t recognize anything that happened in the Bay Area before he showed up.

    Pat Patriot (snapping the ball) was not the original Patriots’ logo. That would be a tri-cornered hat that nobody knew what it was.
