After the move to Vegas, make them the West Coast Raiders
The Raiders moving to Las Vegas is going to be a controversial and sensitive matter. Fans in Oakland and California will be going through a mix of feelings.
But at the end of the day, the Raider Nation will always be the best fan base in the NFL. From Oakland, to Los Angeles, to Las Vegas, we will support our team!
This petition is about the name. Las Vegas is a great city, and we know the residents of Las Vegas will embrace our team. Bringing Las Vegas into the Raider Nation, we ask the Raiders organization to consider branding the team as the West Coast Raiders.
This name will include the entire region that the Raiders have made home and built a large following in. A loose definition of the West Coast can include Las Vegas along with other fan concentrations in the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Southern California.
This will be inclusive of all fans, and would be amazing from a marketing standpoint. Las Vegas is a center of entertainment to the world, and especially to the West Coast region. For all intents and purposes, Las Vegas is a part of the West Coast and we should acknowledge that. This could still be a team that belongs to us all.
Merchandise would fly off the shelves. The Raiders logo is already iconic, but making it the West Coast's team would make it a very hot item.
It's time we realize that the Raiders' fan base isn't a conventional fan base. We are legion and can't be limited to one city. Born in Oakland, took over LA, and now Las Vegas. Let's make an identity that acknowledges this big family of ours and continues our history as the best fan base in the NFL!
Let's go WEST COAST RAIDERS! Just Win, Baby! RNFL
