Get to know the unofficial faces of the franchise
Nikki Manansala AKA Our Lady Of Raider Nation
This Superfan grew up with little exposure to football, becoming a Raiders fan in 2006. However, it wasn't until 2019 that she decided to embody the spirit of a Super Fan, showcasing her unwavering dedication, loyalty, and support for the Raider Nation. Her inspiration stems from Our Lady of Guadalupe, who appeared to Juan Diego on December 9, coincidentally her birthday. Symbolizing unconditional love, the same love she holds for Raider Nation. In March 2022, she officially joined the most notorious, passionate, and die-hard family, The Black Hole. Her love for Raider Nation transcends time, and her dedication knows no bounds.

A symbol of Raider Nation since 1995, Gorilla Rilla started out as a costume bought at a garage sale — and soon turned into an unofficial mascot. Nearly 3 decades later, Mark Acasio’s iconic costume is still a sacred staple of game day: so much that he never removes the mask in public. Fans will recognize his three extra-large necklace beads as a symbol of three Raiders Superbowl victories.
