CREATING FANDOM: The Raiders said that their Nevada specialty license plate is "slated to go on sale Monday." In Las Vegas, Mick Akers notes this marks the team's "first official product tied to the Raiders relocation to southern Nevada." The plate is "predominantly black, with the Raiders’ infamous pirate logo on the left and the famous phrase of late owner Al Davis, 'Commitment to Excellence,' at the bottom." Fans can "get their own plate starting Monday for $62 for a standard plate." The Raiders Foundation will "benefit from the plate sales, as $30 from each purchase will go toward the team’s charitable arm" (LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 1/10).
