They had the best uniforms in the XFL by far. Huge drop off from them and that league's second best uniforms (SF Demons IMO) Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping this is what's happening Sparky! Thanks hockey week...I appreciate that. I wish that was the case...that'd be pretty sweet, eh? I sent the ownership group the "Knights & Aces" concepts and didn't hear anything back... and I got a "we-don't-accept-any-unsolicited-material" from Adidas, who are working with the NHL to develop the Vegas identity. They'll do a good job. Since then I've updated and added a few logos for the "Knights"... And, (what's really cool), through the process, I've met some great folks down in Vegas. I designed up a T-shirt for their "announcement-of-a-Vegas-franchise" party at O'Aces Pub... ...What a bunch of puck-heads, eh?

Heck, they didn't even make it out of a full season, as both they and the VooDoo closed their doors just before the end of the 2015 season.

MC Buffalo Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I know a reference to Gambling would be a no-no since some people are a little leary of having a team in Vegas, so Gamblers, Aces (though they could use Fighter Jet theme) etc. is probably not going to happen. But you can't deny that Vegas was built on the Casino industry. What about ... Las Vegas Mafia (the Mafia's not real wink.. wink.., so it shouldn't upset anyone to use such a fictional name) Las Vegas Gangsters Las Vegas Mob If gaming imagery isn't completely out of the question, I think a real nice package could be created around Las Vegas Jokers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oso Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I think the Outlaw trademark was died when the Arena Football League finally pulled the plug on the the entire experience and mercifully put a bullet in the brain of the franchise. If by chance they still do own the trademark and Foley really wants it, I see the AFL putting forward very minimal resistance. The league I think would like nothing more than to wash their hands of that fiasco once and for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 i think it's sort of humorous that the vegas team would have to stay away from any kind of casino imagery, because of the moral implications of such an identity... but that people would be fine with them using the name outlaws, which literally points to illegal and immoral activity by definition. dont get me wrong. i dont have an issue with either name. i just thought that was funny.

BeerGuyJordan Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Regardless of the name, I hope that we don't get a regurgitated color scheme. I really think they should be using an accent color in the pink/magenta wheelhouse, especially if they use a lot of black.

Stampman Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 If ever there as a call to have a team with tacky uniforms & colour scheme--then Vegas is it...

There's a duality to this name, because snake bites can be described as a stinging pain, and a sting can have a connection with gambling. The defunct Las Vegas Sting had a bee or wasp on the helmet, the colors were purple and gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben in LA Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Las Vegas Expansions. Nevada Commission (as in the gaming commission). I'm sure they'll go,with the city name over the state name, even though they're the only major league team in the state. For now. And I doubt Aces would work considering the Reno Aces. Scratch that. Sacramento Kings/Los Angeles Kings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
