On Thursday, Oct. 19, the Raiders will celebrate the 50thAnniversary of the club’s 1967 American Football League Championship. The event will include an on field acknowledgement, with at least 25 players and coaches from the 1967 team participating, and the presence of the original 1967 AFL Championship trophy.
To mark the occasion, the 2017 Raiders will wear a commemorative jersey patch for the game. The design of the patch is inspired by the original game football used during Al Davis’ tenure as Commissioner of the AFL. The patch features an outline of the football and includes Davis’ signature above the word “commissioner” precisely as it appeared on the AFL football.
