Apparently, if you want a Sio Moore jersey, there aren't any stores in the Oakland, Calif., area that can help you. Moore, who has been with the team for three years, says a 4-year-old fan of his was crying when she realized that she couldn't find one of his jerseys anywhere. This upset Moore, too, so he's decided to take matters into his own hands.
For any Raider fan that already has a Sio Moore jersey, they can send it to the team facility, and Moore will sign it and send it back. And for any fan who doesn't have a Moore jersey, but wants one, he's going to acquire a whole bunch, sign those, and give them away.
It's cool if the @RAIDERS don't want my jersey in they store. I'll go buy em myself and go around the town gettin em to the Ppl. Smh. Weak

It's always bothered me that jersey situation but that 4 yr old baby really made the issue strike a nerve with me.

Apparently, his teammate, Rod Streater, wants to join in on the fun as well.

Pretty cool thing for the players to do, and maybe some of these Bay Area stores will even start carrying their jerseys, too. Beyond Khalil Mack and Derek Carr, it's not like the Raiders have a ton of other marketable players whose jerseys they can sell.
