The Raiders always know how to make a mark. After the purchase of the franchise by legendary owner Al Davis, the black and white established itself as a brand in the NFL. Now settled in sin city, the Las Vegas Raiders are looking to enter a new era of success under the casino lights.
After Al Davis’ passing away, his son Mark Davis took over as owner of the franchise. Under him, the team relocated from Oakland to Las Vegas at the start of the 2020 NFL season.
