Oakland Raiders x Randy Moss [2005-06]


This was a pretty awesome find and glad to have came across it. The company who customs most of my jerseys also sell and this was on their online listing. It's an Oakland Raiders Randy Moss home jersey. True to their heritage, this Reebok uniform bears little to no change over the years with the standard black body with single layered silver tackle twill.


Randy Gene Moss was born on 13 Feb 1977 in Rand, West Virginia and attended Marshall University for three seasons. In 1998, he was selected 21st overall by the Minnesota Vikings. He was named the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year at the end of the season. In 2005, he was traded to the Oakland Raiders. Unfortunately, his stay in Oakland was short-lived and was traded to the New England Patriots in 2007, making an appearance in Super Bowl XLII.


In 2010, Randy Moss was traded to the Minnesota Vikings, but would be waived after the first game of the season and later claimed by the Tennessee Titans. He retired from pro football in the summer of 2011. However, he came out of retirement in 2012 and played a full year with the San Francisco 49ers, helping them earn the NFC Championship. At the end of the season, he officially retired a second.
On 3 February 2018, 10 days before his 41st birthday, he was elected to Pro Football Hall of Fame.
