She has donned Vegas Golden Knights and Las Vegas Aces jerseys in the past.

Thursday morning, Lady Liberty at NY NY at the corner of the Strip and Tropicana Avenue had an NFL Raiders jersey on.

As usual, workers draped the material on the Statue of Liberty replica under the cloak of early morning darkness with cranes and a sense of touch.

The Las Vegas Raiders, lured from Oakland thanks to a $750 million stadium construction subsidy, start the 2020 season against the Carolina Panthers Sunday.

Then on Monday Night Football Sept. 21, the Raiders will inaugurate new Allegiant Stadium with its first NFL game. The team has practiced twice in the domed venue, which will not host fans for the 2020 season because of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
