50th Anniversary Logo

Raiders.com unveiled the 50th anniversary logo today;

"The Raiders’ 50th season logo merges the franchise’s glorious history with an eye toward the greatness that lies in its future. It features professional sports’ most recognizable mark, the Raiders’ shield, at the top of a crest displaying the “Commitment to Excellence” word mark that echoes the organization’s philosophy. The number 50, commemorating the team’s 50 seasons, is beveled in silver and white, and is shaped to resemble the sleeve numbers on the team’s 1963 era jerseys. The years 1960 and 2009 mirror the font used for the team’s 1963 helmet numeral decals. Three large diamonds commemorate the team’s three World Championships, earned in Super Bowl XI, Super Bowl XV, and Super Bowl XVIII; while two smaller diamonds signify the AFL and AFC Championships that led to berths in Super Bowl II and Super Bowl XXXVII. Finally, a lighting effect at the top of the logo represents the organization’s focus on its future."

Speaking about a "focus on its future", the 2009 coaching staff has been assembled, the opponents are lined up, and the combine, draft, and free agency awaits.
