An Oakland Raiders season-ticket holder who wants the team to remain in the East Bay has filed a trademark application for the name “San Antonio Raiders.”

“I figured if I took over the name, San Antonio Raiders, I could force (the team) to stay in Oakland,” Lane Blue of Fresno, California, said in a phone interview.

Blue filed the trademark application on Wednesday with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The application still must be reviewed by a trademark examiner and parties wishing to oppose the application will have the opportunity to do so.

Whether the Oakland Raiders organization intends to oppose the application couldn’t immediately be determined.
