nash61 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Quote NEW YORK -- National Hockey League Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly today released the following statement regarding the office actions issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on the applications to register the name Vegas Golden Knights: "We are currently reviewing the Trademark Office's letter and will prepare a detailed response demonstrating why we continue strongly to believe the Vegas Golden Knights mark should be registered in co-existence with the college registration, just as a number of other nicknames currently co-exist in professional and college sports (particularly where there is no overlap as to the sport for which the nickname is being used). That response is not due until June 7, 2017. "We consider this a routine matter and it is not our intention to reconsider the name or logo of this franchise. We fully intend to proceed as originally planned, relying on our common law trademark rights as well as our state trademark registrations while we work through the process of addressing the question raised in the federal applications."

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

omnivore Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I love that Army is going to force them to change the name. Desert Knights wouldn't be too hard to swap to, the colours wouldn't have to change much AND it's still a military homage given our peccadilloes in the Gulf over the past two decades.

charger77 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Rumor has it that the college is $9,000,000 in debt and has cut scholarships by roughly $350,000, perhaps they are looking to lease the name?

I had to google search/ wikipedia it, to find out what peccadilloes are. I thought it was related to this guy: Now i know it´s not.

Morgan33 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Could this development put an end to this military-glorifying trend that has run rampant in the NHL? I sure hope so. With the exception of the Jets, no brand has looked better for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Does the NHL do a lot of that? I view it as much more of a practice in the NFL and MLB. Unfortunately, none of that is really copyright violation. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

BeerGuyJordan Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 So I've gone back and reviewed my comment history, from the beginning of this process, until now. It's basically a case study in the NHL taking wide-eyed, hopeful, excited fans, and turning them into skeptical, bitter curmudgeons. All through the simple use of embarassingly bad business. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see Vegas fail. I've just run out of hope it can do anything but.

tp49 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 They could rename to the Vegas Gladys Knights featuring the Pips in the owners box...I'm sure Gladys would be willing to work out a resonable deal. Didn't Atlanta have a team called the Knights in the IHL years ago? I think the evidence is plainly clear that Foley and Company are about as competent to run a professional sports franchise as a particular Bloviator In Chief is to run the US Government. I never thought Foley would make the Magoof's look competent. SMDH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
