In the time, Oakland seemed a place of improbable action for a team of professional soccer. The city had not asked a team, there was not the group of the property and there was not stadium in Oakland convenient for professional soccer (the most nearby stadiums were in Berkeley and San Francisco ) and there was already a right of successful vote of NFL in the Area of the Bay in the San Francisco 49ers. Nevertheless, the owners of AFL chose Oakland after owner of Steeds of Los Angeles Barron Hilton threatened to lose its right of vote unless a second team to be placed in the Coast of the West. Consequently, the city of Oakland was granted the eighth right Oakland Raiders schedule of vote of AFL in January 30, 1960. The team inherited the club turn choices of Minneapolis . When no team of AFL played never in the Cities Twins, that area is not respected the first home of the Invaders.
To receive the right of vote, Oakland civic leaders found that several people of business willing to invest in the new team. An association limited was formed to possess the team, that included general associates Oakland Raiders NFL draft projections Harvey Binns, Gift that Blesses, Chat Harney, Ed McGah, Robert Osborne, and the Valley of Wayne , directed handling general associate Y.

The original colors of the team were black, of gold and white. The symbol now-relative of the team of a pirate (or the “invading”) carrying a helmet of the soccer was created, supposedly an interpretation of actor Randolph Scott.
When the University of California refused to permit the play of Invaders at home play in the Commemorative Stadium in Berkeley , they chose the Stadium of Kezar in San Francisco as their field of home.

The Invaders finished their first campaign with a 6-8 unprecedented, and they lost $500.000.
With the fusion, the position of Member of a commission of AFL was no longer needed, and Davis entered discussions with the Valley about returning the Invaders. In July 25, 1966, Davis returned as the joint-owner of the team. Although the owner of but of a 10% of interest in the Invaders, he came be the third general associate of the team the associate (for the time that is) in charge of operations of soccer.

McGah signed the agreement. Under the law of the association, by a 2-1 vote of the general associates, the new agreement thus was ratified. The valley was furious when he discovered this, and the judgment immediately filed to have the new agreement overturned. The sideways courts with Davis and McGah. As a consequence, the Valley sold its interest in the team, and in Davis although possessing but a small portion of the team was firmly in load.
In the country, the team Davis had met and had coached improved constantly. With John Rauch as the new first coach, the Invaders gained the 1967 Championship of AFL, defeating the Tankers of Houston 40-7. The victory gained the team a trip to Super Bowl II, where they were struck 33-14 by Lombardi of Vince Green Packers of Bay. In 1968 and 1969, the Invaders again Oakland Raiders NFL draft projections gained the Western titles of the Division, only to lose the Championship of AFL to the Super winning eventual of the Bowl, the Jet of new York (1968) and Leaders of City of Kansas (1969). In 1970, the fusion of AFL-NFL happened and the Invaders united the Western Division of the American Conference of the Soccer in the NFL again united.
In 1969, John Maddens came be the team sixth first coach, and during the seventies that their Invaders came they be one of the most successful rights of vote in the NFL, although the team was slow to gain the recognition as an energetic person of soccer due to a heartwrenching loss after another in play of Championship of AFC, above all in the hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then, after finishing 13-1 in 1976, the Invaders defeated the Steelers 24-7 in the play of the Championship of AFC, and they passed to gain their first championship of NFL in Super Bowl XI Oakland Raiders schedule on the Minnesota Viking 32-14 in Pasadena , California .
