Art Shell is the Raiders head coach. He was born in 1946 in and is a former American football player in the National Football League (NFL) and current head coach of the Oakland Raiders, this being the second time he has coached the NFL franchise. BEing coach of the Raiders gives you a lot of respect and everyone wants to support the coach by wearing an Raiders Art Shell jersey. Art Shell also holds the distinction of having been only the second African American head coach in the history of the NFL, and the first in the league’s modern era. Shell was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1989 which makes Art Shell jersey sales very high 

Shell was drafted by the Oakland Raiders from University of Maryland Eastern Shore. Playing offensive tackle, Shell participated in 24 playoff contests, including Super Bowls XI and XV, and was named to eight Pro Bowls. This guy is hardcore. The Art Shell jersey has been selling good since the 1970’s.

As coach of the Raiders (at the time known as the "Los Angeles Raiders"), Shell compiled a record of 56 wins, 41 losses, and was named AFC Coach of the Year in 1990, when the Raiders won the AFC West division with a 12-4 record, and advanced to the AFC championship game in the playoffs. Al Davis, owner of the Raiders, fired Shell after a 9-7 season in 1994, a move Davis said he later regretted.

Shell was officially re-hired by the Raiders as head coach on February 11, 2006. Much Respect for Art Shell and I support the Art Shell jersey proudly.
