Fox (Kill Bill), R&B singer Shanice (“I Love Your Smile”), and actor Flex Alexander (UPN’s “One on One”) excited the crowd with laughter and encouraging words during the official Bay Area Black Expo at the Oakland Coliseum.

In addition, the Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation held a blood drive to help find donors who can make a difference and Kaiser Permanente had a Wii Fitness Pavilion where they promoted nutrition and health prevention.

Prior to Saturday, a Pre-Black Expo dinner gala, the Diamond Diversity Awards, was held at Scott’s Seafood Restaurant.

Black Hole Fans

Alameda, CA (PRWEB) September 11, 2009

A group of die hard Oakland Raiders fans who started the notorious “Black Hole” at the Oakland Coliseum are unveiling a new plan to encourage all Raider fans to unite and build on what is truly football’s best home field advantage. At Monday night’s game vs. the San Diego Chargers, die-hard Raider fans will be kicking off “Campaign Black,” an attempt to turn the entire Oakland Coliseum into a “Black Hole” by getting all of the Raiders’ fans to wear black.

“We want to drown the opponents in black this season,” said Rob Rivera, a member of The Black Hole, LLC, and a Raiders season ticket holder since the Raiders’ return to the Oakland Coliseum in 1995. “In the past, The Black Hole has been an intimidating force in the end zone. This year, we want to cover the entire Coliseum with black and make sure opponents realize this is the Original House of Pain.”

The “Holers”, as the die-hard Raider fans sometimes refer to themselves, have created a more organized effort this year than in the past. Last month, The Black Hole LLC (the legal entity the fan group created) launched an official website, http://www.blackholefans.com. The website allows fans to connect with other fanatical Raider fans and to buy Black Hole T-Shirts, Hats, Swing Towels, Static Clings, and other gear to show their support for the Raiders.

“When we started the Black Hole in the 1990s, we made up T-Shirts by hand and sold them in the parking lot – so everyone could be a part of it,” said Rivera. “They kind of cracked down on that because you’re not supposed to sell things in the parking lot. So we haven’t had any Black Hole shirts for a while. Our current arrangement with the Raiders and NFL is perfect. We get to design what we like, without anyone telling us what to do. We just can’t sell anything in the parking lot anymore. So people need to buy the Black Hole gear from our website.”

Over the years The Black Hole has attracted a strong following, with many fans coming to games in costumes to add to the intimidation factor for opposing teams. Black Hole Chapters are currently being established in cities around the country, as Raider fans can be found anywhere. These fanatical fans think of each other as family. A number of Black Hole fans have been featured on ESPN, Fox Sports, CBS and a number of other media outlets.

As part of this year’s expanded effort, members of the Black Hole will be setting up a 20-foot Black Hole tent in the North Parking lot of the Oakland Coliseum for interested “Holers” to congregate before each game. For the season opener on September 14, The Black Hole BBQ team has entered the Raider’s Most Valuable Griller contest to show off their award winning ribs.

About The Black Hole:

THE BLACK HOLE fan club was started by a core group of intensely fanatic Oakland Raiders fans in 1995, the year the Raiders returned to Oakland. Since then, these fans have earned a reputation throughout the NFL as the most intense, passionate and loyal fan base, earning the nickname, “Football’s Most Notorious Fans™.” THE BLACK HOLE® trademark is an officially registered trademark exclusively licensed to THE BLACK HOLE, LLC, the club formed in 2001 by Oakland Raiders fans. The club is based in Oakland, CA. For more information about The Black Hole, please visit its website at blackholefans.com. The Black Hole, LLC has partnered with GameChanger Products, LLC based in Alameda, CA to help manage merchandise production and sales.

THE BLACK HOLE, LLC, a company created and owned by a group of the Oakland Raiders most extreme and intense NFL football fans, has signed a deal with GameChanger Products, LLC, a leading national marketing agency, to develop and launch the world’s first line of fan-developed NFL merchandise and a worldwide fan community for passionate devotees of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders. This community, unique in the world of sports, will enable the Oakland Raiders’ national and international fan base to connect like never before.

THE BLACK HOLE is an officially registered trademark of the Oakland Raiders and the NFL that has been exclusively licensed to THE BLACK HOLE, LLC, a company formed in 2001 by Oakland Raiders fans.

“THE BLACK HOLE is the first of its kind – a true game-changing idea,” said Larry Popelka, CEO of GameChanger. “It’s the first NFL Trademark created by the fans, for the fans and about the fans. And they are perhaps the most extreme fans in all of sports.”

For this reason, GameChanger says THE BLACK HOLE Website, its features, and all merchandise offered by THE BLACK HOLE, will be selected by members of THE BLACK HOLE, whose input will help guide the design of THE BLACK HOLE fan experience and merchandise. “There is a powerful energy, a unique pride and spirit within THE BLACK HOLE,” said Popelka. “The only way for us to maintain that spirit is to prevent it from becoming commercialized. THE BLACK HOLE is all about the fans – and it will always stay that way.”

Membership in THE BLACK HOLE fan community will include a variety of benefits, including a special member website with information, unique fan events and social network features designed specifically for this group of intense Raiders loyalists. In addition to these internet and community features, the site will also feature an online store that will allow fans to purchase specially designed merchandise featuring THE BLACK HOLE logo and designs that express their fervor for the Oakland Raiders.

“Members of THE BLACK HOLE are like family – and there are people all over the country and world who want to join us,” said Rob Rivera one of the founding members of The Black Hole, LLC, a devoted Oakland Raiders fan and long time season ticket holder. “One of THE BLACK HOLE’S main goals is to unite and promote the passion and intensity that resides in the Oakland Raiders fan base, and create a true football experience for its members that is like no other.”

“We wanted to create something meaningful that would unite all these Raiders fans, a community that allows people to get connected and stay connected with the most passionate fans on the planet,” said Rivera. “We selected GameChanger as our partner because they ‘get it’ — they understand what THE BLACK HOLE is all about, and they’re going to work with us to keep it real.”

Fans will be able to sign up for membership in THE BLACK HOLE later this spring on the company’s website. Interested fans and supporters can register now to receive sign up information at http://www.blackholefans.com.
