Who is the Face in the Oakland Raiders Logo?

The Oakland Raiders' iconic logo is one of the most recognizable in all of sports. But who is the face behind the eye patch and menacing scowl?

The Native American Warrior

The face in the Raiders logo is that of an unnamed Native American warrior. The logo was created by Raiders owner Al Davis in 1960. Davis wanted a fierce and intimidating image to represent his team. He hired graphic designer Fred Waring to design the logo, and Waring based the face on a photograph of a Native American chief.

The Controversy

The Raiders' logo has been criticized by some for being racist. In 2008, a bill was introduced in the California State Assembly to prohibit the use of Native American imagery and nicknames by sports teams. The bill was eventually defeated, but the controversy continues to simmer.

Despite the controversy, the Raiders' logo remains one of the most popular in sports. It is a symbol of strength, determination, and pride.
