Las Vegas Raiders Have a Perfect Opportunity to Make 'Football Elvis' Their Mascot
By Max Bevington
With the Las Vegas Raiders in the process of moving from Oakland to the Sin City, their new Allegiant Stadium is on track to be one of the most interesting and colorful stadiums in the NFL.
It will be impossible to truly judge Allegiant Stadium until it is opened up to fans, but from what we have seen from the construction, it already looks like it's got a truly unique flair that couldn't belong anywhere but Vegas.
Look no further than Football Elvis.
Nothing quite says Las Vegas like colorful paintings of Elvis Presley as a Raiders player and Marilyn Monroe as a cheerleader, right?
Sounds like the perfect opportunity to consider a team mascot at long last. They've gone all this time without one, but who could possibly pass up Football Elvis?
Notably, Las Vegas is not the only NFL squad to have actual commissioned paintings featured in their stadium. AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, has an incredibly large and impressive art collection featured around the complex.
Since the Raiders do not have a live mascot on the field during games, Football Elvis presents them with the perfect chance to officially represent the Silver and Black on the field in an unforgettable way.
Also, with the Raiders continually failing to live up to expectations on the gridiron, it would provide a much-needed entertaining distraction for the fans.
