Designed the uniforms the Raiders wear today back in 1963, Al is color-blind so he only can see in grays and black.
Member of the Hall of Fame.
A very emotional man with a vast vocabulary, loves his Oakland Raiders more than any person alive or who'll ever live. Has seen and been a part of it all in profootball, from the very lowest lows to the very highest highs.
Secretly has financially helped hundreds of former Raiders players,trainers,coaches and their families. Has never taken credit for that fact and probably will pass on without ever divulging that information.

To draft a player too early in the draft rounds based on perceived abilities.
Sebastian Janikowski
Darrius Heyward-Bey
Al Davis, drafted Darrius Heyward-Bey as the 7th overall pick, but the guy should have been draft in the 2nd round.
Al Davis picked Darrius Heyward Bey earlier than most projections, and before Michael Crabtree and Jeremy Maclin, who most analysts thought would precede Heyward-Bey.
