With the 2022 Raiders football season set to kick-off in less than two weeks, we must give a shoutout to those "fabulous females" who celebrate 60 years of gameday support and community service.
The Raiderettes have been a part of the Raiders organization since 1961, one year after the franchise's inaugural season. They are as much a part of Raiders history and Raiders mystique as any one play, player, coach, or championship team. Win, Lose or Tie, our Raiderettes always look fly on the field. And they dress in Silver and Black!
The Raiders organization acknowledged their fabulous females' 60-years of contributions to football, with an alumni weekend reunion and half-time celebration during the preseason opener.
Thank you for your service Raiderettes!
Once a Raiderette, Always a Raiderette.
That’s been the case for the Las Vegas Raiderettes for six decades and as they come close to celebrating their 60th anniversary over the weekend, they will have the opportunity to welcome back alumni to their new home of Las Vegas.
Raiderettes from every decade since the inaugural season in 1961 will gather in Las Vegas and reminisce about their time as members of the best cheerleading team in sports history.
"I don't think Vegas knows what's about to hit them," said Raiderettes Director Tiphanie McNiff. "It's hard to put into words what this experience means to me. Having the opportunity to celebrate with women spanning over six decades will be amazing and I'm looking forward to it."
Over 500 Raiderettes Alumni are set to assemble in the anniversary reunion, which will include a celebratory return to the field to perform a routine dance at halftime of Sunday’s Las Vegas Raiders 2022 home preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings at Allegiant Stadium.
The Raiderettes, also known as Football's Fabulous Females, have evolved from a team of high school majorettes to a top-flight professional cheerleading unit.
Since their formation in 1961, the Raiderettes have been more than just a cheerleading squad. cont'd
