The excitement around Fernando Mendoza has quickly turned into a shopping frenzy.
Just days after the Las Vegas Raiders selected the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, fans are already snapping up his No. 15 jersey in large numbers.
Here’s what Raiders fans need to know about getting their own Mendoza jersey.
Where to buy a Fernando Mendoza jersey
Official Mendoza jerseys are now widely available through major retailers, including:
- NFL Shop.

- The Raider Image (official team store).
What styles are available?
Fans have several options depending on style and budget:

Alternate colors

Custom jerseys
Some retailers allow custom orders with “Mendoza” and No. 15 if inventory is limited
Why No. 15 matters
Mendoza will wear No. 15 with the Raiders, a number that carries franchise history. The rookie received approval from Hall of Famer Tom Flores to don the number, linking the team’s past with its future.
The number also matches what he wore during his record-setting college career, where he led Indiana to a national championship and won the Heisman Trophy before becoming the Raiders’ top pick.
Demand is already sky-high
If you’re planning to buy, don’t wait too long.
Mendoza jerseys have been among the top-selling items across all sports since draft night, reflecting the massive expectations surrounding the Raiders’ new franchise quarterback.
That demand could lead to:
- Limited sizes in stock.
- Shipping delays on popular items.
- Pre-orders for certain versions.
Tips before you buy
- Check sizing charts — Nike jerseys tend to run slightly athletic.
- Look for restocks — if your size is sold out, more inventory is likely coming.
- Compare retailers — prices are usually similar, but shipping times vary.
- Watch for sales — especially closer to the NFL season.
For Raiders fans eager to welcome a new era, the No. 15 Mendoza jersey has quickly become the must-have item of the offseason — and a symbol of hope for what’s next in Las Vegas.
