Do you have any reading recommendations on this? Marc Morris' The Norman Conquest, Michael Hicks' The Wars of the Roses, Ellen Meiksins Wood's Citizens to Lords, Alan Butler's The Knights Templar, Christopher Tyerman's Chronicles of the First Crusade, Theodore K. Rabb's The Struggle for Stability in Early Modern Europe, and Brian P. Levack's The Witch-Hunt in Early Modern Europe are all good histories. Beowulf (700-1000), Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (late 1300s), and Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales (1386-89) are all great examples of medieval fiction. If you want history written by medieval authors you can't beat Ecclesiastical History of the English People (731) by Bede and The History of the Kings of Britain (1136) by Geoffrey of Monmouth. Hope that's what you were looking for PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleuet Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 One could already make jokes if the attendance is a deception, the Desert Kinghts will play in a desert arena.. Still, I wish em all the luck and success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Here’s hoping on Tuesday it’s all a big swerve and they end up with Aces …" Ya me too, that just aint happening, that is the NBA team name for MGM Sparky if you had to bet what do you think the name is Tuesday, best guess, you know what color schemes and hidden logos are as good as anyone, take a shot, curious. As far as a swerve from the three trademarks, I just cannot see announcing a name with zero legal protect and doing a swerve. That and they would have gotten the NHL legal onto a game of fake trademarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Hi VegasBound... Here's my guess (and I have zero "inside" info). I'm not saying that it's my favourite, but my money, right now, is on "Desert Knights" with a silver/gold/red/black colour combo. I think the official name will be "Vegas Desert Knights" (not "Las Vegas") with a black "V" primary logo on a predominantly silver uniform (although unis will be revealed at a later date). That prediction is only based on what we have all been allowed to see. I have to give them credit...they've done a good job in keeping this under wraps. Have a great time on Tuesday night!... It should be good. sparky *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasBound Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I wonder if they will use a majority red vs grey and logo color swap depending on which for home/away 3rd jersey etc. It is amazing the logo is stuill under wraps they MUST have something printed in a box and delivered by now.

Yeah, you'd think there'd be a leak by now, but like I said, they've done a good job in keeping this a secret. I'm thinking of a mainly silver/grey uni because of a new "steel mesh" material that Mr. Foley referred to. I'm expecting more colour in the 3rd's and alts based on some comments from their VP of marketing, Kim Frank. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Over at SinBin, Ken does a short podcast interview with Kim. He quizzes her on adding pink to the colours. With her response, I get the sense that the colours will be kept basic, with the option of adding more "Vegas-y" colours in stuff like merchandise, alts and special events unis. As far as the "V" logo, there is a design under the photoshopped ice surface on the official invite.

~Bear Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I hope they have an actual knight as the primary. That V would be a lackluster logo in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasBound Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Wow quite the eye Sparky to pick that V out! I wonder in terms of size if its possible a horse/rider or helmet exist behind it. I guess without knowing dimensions its tough to gage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burmy Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The color scheme tells me that they'll be the Desert Knights...but shorten it to "Knights" on most of their merch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copper, black, teal, & red (colors used on flyer) give off a southwestern kinda vibe to me. Could be a good starting point for a team named "Desert Knights" but just don't know how a Native American motif would tie in to Desert Knights.

VegasBound Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Why does it have to be considered Native American? Couldn't you find similar colors around the world used together that are non native? To be honest Native never came to my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
