This post will provide you multiple resources to discover more information about the Oakland Invaders.  The team played in the United States Football League during the 1983-1985 USFL seasons:

• Oakland Invaders on Squidoo
• Oakland Invaders on OursportsCentral
• Oakland Invaders on USFL.info
• Oakland Invaders on Remembertheusfl

One of the running jokes among Boy Scouts during the time that the USFL was in existence was that the Oakland Invaders must have been involved with the Scouts.  This is because the Invaders logo looked VERY similar to the Boy Scout electricity merit badge logo.

Thanks to Eagle Scout Mark Bershatsky for bringing this to our attention!

Judge for yourself!
