I'm not a Raider's fan (love them 49ers!), but my uncle is. So, when I drew his name for Christmas, I knew exactly where to go. Raider Image, at Southland Mall (they have other locations throughout the East Bay) was stuffed full of Raider's paraphernalia. It's a small, store located near Ross and Sears. But the size of the store is not at all indicative of the amount of stuff they have. They had everything from shirts, to stickers, to jewelry, to blankets, to tchotchkes, to calenders, to chairs, and so much more. And while I was there, I overheard the employee on duty talking Raider's stats with a customer -- so it seems the employees share the enthusiasm for the team. Prices were about average. Some stuff was pretty pricey, but yet you could also find things there for cheaper than you'd pay at one of the games.
