Raiders Wordmark Logo

The Las Vegas Raiders are a professional American football team based in Las Vegas, Nevada. The organization was founded in 1960 and has been an iconic presence in the NFL since then. The team’s wordmark logo has gone through several changes over the years, but it remains one of the most recognizable symbols associated with the franchise.

The first version of the logo was introduced when they were still located in Oakland and featured two crossed swords with a shield on top that reads “Raiders” along its banner. This design remained unchanged until 2018 when they moved to Las Vegas and changed their name to “Raiders” instead of including Oakland or Los Angeles as part of it (the previous names). To reflect this change, a new wordmark featuring only one sword above its namesake was unveiled then; however, some elements from its predecessor remain, such as font typeface, which is consistent throughout all versions so far.

In 2020 another update took place where now two swords crossed each other again like before, but this time without any shield present, thus giving more prominence to the lettering itself while maintaining an overall look recognizable for fans around the world who have followed them for decades now regardless location changes experienced by the club during those times too! It's clear how vital these subtle yet meaningful tweaks can be in context, both past & present - showing us just how deeply rooted history goes back, even if only small details may seem different today than what we remember from yesteryear!
