CreamSoda Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 So Foley pushed this back a month because it needed more pop. I would love to see the logo that had less "pop" than this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Harry Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I think they have a better identity than probably five teams as of now. Could be more if they get the jerseys right. Really hoping for a non black home jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 The new sweaters should definitely be grey. That's why they'll be black. This whole thing blows. Padres were somehow the less disappointing reveal today. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

C's Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Just 'Vegas' as the geographic identifier = fail. Nickname is whatever. Better than Desert Knights, at least. The primary logo is fine, wish it didn't have a black shield behind it though. It looks completely out of place next to the other NHL logos on the mothership. But that secondary is just bizarre. It doesn't even look like it's part of the same set. Why did they feel the need to crowbar white and red in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2001mark Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Any & all excitement of an NHL team being born in one of the most exciting cities in the western world, & they deliver the absolute dull as dirt logo to vaporize it. I'm not saying the logo is bad, it's mediocre. I'm just saying they should've capitalized on Las Vegas' populist lore, instead of rock formations & military jargon as identities. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I don't know... I'm not much of a "fix it" guy, but that "steel grey" was throwing me for a loop, so I wanted to see if the logo would be better with a different color instead: But after changing the colors around, I realized that I think it's the construction of the shadows that is throwing me off. The white highlights reach the very edge of the helmet, while the shadows are constrained from reaching it. I think that's what's bothering me.

I admit that I love the name Knights. I know it wasn't Las Vegas' first choice, but I admit that I'm happy to see the name get representation in the big four. "Golden Knights" is just...I don't want to say it's bad because it's not. Not really. It just lacks a certain flare "Desert Knights" had. Which seemed to be the preferred choice among the LV fanbase once it came down to the three finalists.
