CreamSoda Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I want to like this logo but the dull. muted colours really bother me. And for Golden Knights, too much of the Knight is dark... I wish they would have done something like this, more bright gold, and a clearer contrast on the background and helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Funny thing is they were suppose to show a lead up video cause the owner said how he took so much time doing the interview part, but instead they just said screw it and went right to the logo unveil.

I thought along the same lines. Brighter gold, teal/graphite in the logo becomes a darker gold, black shield shape on slate gray jerseys. I'd also change all the white to a light gray but it may not work with the gold being as yellow as you have it. I think if that is their logo choice then your colors are vastly superior to theirs.

The_Admiral Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 No, they went to the unveil because they tried to play the video, it said PLACEHOLDER and had no audio (or it had music but no talking: were the interviewees in the video just never wired for sound when they recorded it?), then they tried to play it a second time and it was still messed up, then they went to play it a third time and said screw it before things could get even worse. Then they were supposed to have fireworks go off when he said the name but they didn't all go off at once so he kept yelling it over and over until they did. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet1929 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I don't watch hockey and I can't tell you much if anything about any of their logos... but looking at this one at first impression, I like it. Seems like a nice logo, one I wouldn't be embarrassed to wear. I'm sure it could use improvements but that's my take. I only posted because maybe sometimes hearing an outsider/non hockey fan's take on it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grievances with the logos as they are: The keyline on the swords logo. Just an obvious mistake The helmet reads as a Spartan helmet, not a knight helmet The black. We've got enough black in the NHL. The coherence of the logoset. The primary and secondary look like they were options from two different logosets that Foley decided should be together. My fix: The helmet plume is just a placeholder for now. It's a quick edit of the former Rutgers knight logo plume. It adds that right to left motion that many logos have and breaks out of the shield, creating a dynamic shape. MUCH better. Your last bullet is my biggest grievance with the set....it's a complete mess. This is a great fix. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 The more I think about it the more I hate using just Vegas without Las in front of it. I hate when teams or companies "officialize" a nickname. Like the Lightning's "BOLTS" alternates. Don't put a fan created nickname on an official uniform. Let your fans or others call you "Vegas" if they want to, but your official name should be the actual name of your city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 7 hours ago, DG_Now said: The team not having jerseys before Christmas means they don't think ahead, which means they won't draft well, they won't scout well, and they won't play well. On top of that, their general manager is the guy who couldn't get Alex Ovechkin in his prime past the second round (and seldom got him past the first) due to substandard drafting and hiring one incredibly awful coach. Basically all they have going for them is Bettman tweaked the expansion draft rules to be far more generous than the ones the 1997 expansion teams got, plus guaranteed top-15 picks irrespective of finish. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so perfectly botched. I'll never forget it. I'm no longer worried about this team being unfairly good out of the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I'm serious, did they not plug his mic in? Unless they were playing it back straight out of Adobe Premiere because they only now just finished cutting it (not ruling this out), why would some audio tracks be missing but not all? ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"D-Backs," "Jays, "Bolts," "Cavs," and "Jags" all look terrible, IMO. And as a team's location name, it's that much worse. To me, this is just as bad as the Golden State Warriors (which always sounded like a random D-III college team). It's like naming a team the "Jersey Nets," "Frisco 49ers," or "Philly Eagles."

This logo shouldn't have been finalized 2 weeks ago, and they should have had the entire brand package done and ready to roll out before now.

There's too many black jerseys, Nashville has the gold home sweater, why not be the first with graphite? I think black, while generic, would sell more. I'd go for a graphite primary. I just don't know if they'll put uniqueness first. I think it's gonna look a lot like the Kings jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
