Silver Minings: What was the first Raiders jersey that you owned?

Happy Sunday, everyone. Hope we’re having a great Memorial Day weekend. Today’s question I’m going to ask is going to be a fun one.

What was the first Raiders jersey you owned?

Some of you may have to go back a bit, and some of you may have to go back a year. But we’ve all had that first jersey at some point, so I thought it would be fun to hear about who yours was.

If you can, share the player and jersey that it was, and when/how you got it. Or, if you have any fun stories in regards to owning a jersey, let’s hear em. I know there are those out there who were the first in line to buy a Jamarcus Russell jersey, don’t be afraid to admit it.

For me, the first overall NFL jersey I owned was a Dolphins Ricky Williams jersey. I don’t know where I got it or why I had it, but that was my first jersey!
