Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Silver and Black — The iconic pirate flag logo on the helmet was not originally drawn by a Raiders employee named John Nicholson; it was designed by graphic artist Bob Thomas.

Just Win Baby — The Raiders adopted silver and black as their team colors in 1960 is incorrect; the team's original colors were black and gold, and silver and black were adopted in 1963.

Just Win Baby — The slogan is a registered trademark alongside 'Commitment to Excellence,' but 'Pride and Poise' is not a registered trademark of the franchise is incorrect; 'Pride and Poise' is also a registered trademark of the Las Vegas Raiders.

Oakland Raiders — Super Bowl XVIII was won by the Los Angeles Raiders, not the Oakland Raiders.

Fred Biletnikoff — Fred Biletnikoff's jersey number 25 has not been retired by the Raiders.

Fred Biletnikoff — The claim that Biletnikoff was the first wide receiver in NFL history to have his number retired by a team is false because no NFL team has retired his number.

Ted Hendricks — Hendricks moved to the United States at age 5, not 'shortly after birth'

Ted Hendricks — The claim of a career-high four sacks against Florida in 1968 is unsubstantiated as sacks were not an official NCAA statistic then

Al Davis — The entry states that upon his death, his son Mark and mother Carol inherited ownership, but Carol is his wife, not his mother.

1976 NFL Championship — The 1976 AFC Championship Game was played on December 26, 1976, not January 23, 1977.

1976 NFL Championship — The game was the AFC Championship Game, not the NFL Championship; the NFL Championship was Super Bowl XI at that time.

1974 AFL Championship — The entry states the Raiders secured their second American Football Conference championship in January 1975, but the 1974 AFC Championship Game was actually a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, not a championship win.

1974 AFL Championship — The tagline and lore imply the Raiders won the championship ('secured their second AFC crown', 'champions who could dominate'), which contradicts the factual result of a loss.
