It’s ninety-something out and he’s [Winegard] wearing his
trademark black—a black polo over black jeans. Something about being a Raiders’ fan, if Danny
remembers right. Winegard has even talked about bringing the team to Las Vegas someday.
I've found the Las Vegas Raiders football team

it seems that black is their colour. But given that the scene is set in Las Vegas and Winegard lives there, what's the point of bringing a Las Vegas team to Las Vegas? Or could it be some other Raiders? Any help much appreciated.
