Raiders logo and the history of the team

The Oakland Raiders logo has always been inspired by one mascot—whose face has consistently appeared on the logo—with only slight modifications carried out. And even after relocating to Los Angeles and rebranding first as Los Angeles Raiders and eventually Las Vegas Raiders, the logo has remained essentially the same since it was first designed.

The Las Vegas Raiders logo symbol comprises the portrait of a pirate (Raider) sporting a football helmet and flanked by two crossed swords behind him. The Raider’s portrait was reportedly inspired by the face of American movie star Randolph Scott.
