    One of those he said, she said, but I heard that the Raiders were thinking of using a black helmet during some games compared to the classic grey in 2009.

    That would suck. I like making fun of the Raiders but their uniform is one of the most recognizable in sports...
    They have used a black helmet just for their first 2 years (according to this site), no historical reason for a change. Hope it's just a rumor.

    I agree with DoubleD up there...Their helmet and uniforms are sweet. They've been one of the few not to ruin a good thing...if they did it for two games...great. If they are talking permanent, I have a problem.

    he probably will be frozen so he can come back and take them back over and drive them back into the ground

    Ok, the Raiders colors are silver and black. Then why go with a black helment for some games in 2009? Thats stupid if you ask me.

    Id like to see the logo with the white in the helmet as opposed to the black inside of the pirate. That could be pretty cool, but yeah, the black helmet would look ridiculous.

    and to be honest, Sweet Al is already dead. It's just a puppet theyre using.

    Oh no, the Raiders are renown for their silver helmets... It'd be idiotic for them to change them to black helmets, let alone the fact it'd look horrible.

    Cletusaurus YES! YES! YES!

    I don't have the shots on my computer, but I've seen pictures of the Raiders ALSO possibly changing to a red jersey? :lol:

    Is it some kind of anniversary year or the Raiders so they will just be wearing retro kits for a game or 2? Like the Jets, Eagles, Redskins and Steelers did last year.

    This should be the ONLY Retro Helmet the Raiders use...

    It might work, if they made the logos silver. I would hav to see how it would look.
