AFL Raiders

Welcome to my review of the Oakland Raiders web site and 50th anniversary tribute.

I only wish I was as fluent as they are….

See, they have multi-lingual versions of their website!!!

The Raiders maintain a global presence and communicate with the worldwide Raider Nation through the team’s official web properties which feature original and translated content in six different languages – Tagalog, Japanese, German, Chinese, Spanish and English.

The Raiders became and continue to be the first and only NFL team to produce a full-service Spanish-language web site. During the 2004 regular season, the Raiders became the first team to offer original content in German with the launch of Raiders auf Deutsch.

Each site is geared towards those particular cultural interests and topicality!

Very Cool!

They also have a great Kids page which features downloadable pictures for kids to color, various games and contests.

And of course they have a well done history page.

And feature all their 50th anniversary gear at their store…

And have a great Fan Page where you can download pictures, wallpapers, widgets, join a booster club or even start your own.

Kudos to the Raiders !!! and Two Big Thumbs Up!

3 of 8 AFL Kansas City Chiefs

I almost like this retro 50th anniversary combination. The colors, almost remind me of the Redskins, so this is cool. But the helmet reminds me too much of a college team design…

So what does the Kansas City Chiefs web site look like?

My first impression was really cool. An nicely done splash screen clickable image as an intro!

Take a look…

Unfortunately, after viewing Da Bills and Broncos web sites, I was left somewhat unimpressed with the rest of the site.

Here is the best of the rest…

At Number 7 (yes 7!) on the featured story list…

Matt Cassel signs contract extension

Other featured stories include ones like these…

Death of longtime Trainer Wayne Rudy

New and Renovated Stadium

Perhaps the suprise low of this site was the online games link(s)….

NFL Rush

This is a TOTALLY KC UNRELATED site which features a bunch of games and a really cool video on Drew Brees and the Saints… (all from the KC site?) go figure…

But if you want to stick with the KC sponsored games…

You can play hangman

or

Scramble

I had to hunt around to find anything related to the 50th anniversary.

I finally found something interesting under the “History” section of the web site.

The foolish club – AFL 8

And a piece on the KC Hall of Fame

And an interest article on the Chiefs Uniform History

No “pick your all time team”

No widgets

But, like the Broncos, you can follow the Chiefs on Twitter…

All 3679 fans.

All in all – 1/2 a thumb up…. ouch!

Next up, the New England Patriots.
