Ray Ratto is just being funny, and he does a good job, when he says the Raiders should rock their "Oakland Señores" look on opening night against the Chargers for the AFL 50th anniversary celebration. Besides, everyone knows the Raiders wear throwbacks every time out, since 1963.
But check it out.
The first game of this AFL double header is the Patriots vs. the Bills. And according to Reiss's Pieces (clever name, douche), the Pats are wearing replicas of their 1963 uniforms.
Yeah, so fine, apparently they advanced to the AFL title game that year (who knew Walt Coleman has been a ref that long?). But I still think it's an interesting coincidence that the Raiders are also wearing their 1963 uniforms, as they have pretty much since Al Davis took over the team.
Also, the Raiders are playing at Dallas on Thanksgiving Day. My favorite Holiday just got better.

I think they should make up throwback uniforms. Come up with black jerseys with black numbers that are impossible to read or something. That would be more in line with the Raider sense of humor.
But it would be sweet to see them put that mustached logo on the helmets for a game:
