My apologies; it’s been a few days since my last post. Things are fairly quiet out in Alameda County, now just a week (a week!) before reporting to the Napa Valley training facility. I decided to share with you guys a picture that @RAIDERS had tweeted a few days ago of a few players modeling some new gear that Raider Image is rolling out.

For those of you who are unaware, since I had been for the longest time, Raider Image is the team’s official online merchandise store, linked directly from the team website. A lot of the paraphernalia found at Raider Image is both more attractive and cheaper than what you’d find in the NFL Shop, in my opinion (unless you happen to be from Canada like myself, then of course the cost of ground shipping will make you cry). I also found that there were many more options for women’s apparel than at the NFL Shop, as well. The store even includes free sign-up for My Raider Rewards, a program that gives you a cash back incentive towards future purchases from their website, or towards 47 participating retailers. Trust me, if I had the kind of money it took, I would’ve bought this website out years ago!

These are just a few of the new digs, being kindly modeled by Marcel Reece, Jacoby Ford and Mike Mitchell:

Coming up this week, I will provide any news that is released and comment on DHB’s DUI trial (which is happening tomorrow, July 23).

GO RAIDERS!
