The team logo is going to be a bird -named Ace - with neon plumage that is wearing a metallic silver knight's helmet and an Elvis Presley-inspired jumpsuit. Ace will be depicted piloting an F-117 stealth aircraft that is dropping a pair of dice and several poker chips from its bomb bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodsep Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Of all the names they are thinking about Nighthawks. Damn, that's not a good name for an new franchise if there's another one with a much storied history and founding member of the league. Night Owls, Atoms and Aces sound great IMHO. Even Black Knights, if not a bit generic, would have been better that Nighthawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey week Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Yeah, the Night Hawks, that sounds hockey! I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRadniz29 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Well, if a variation on hawks is the final three, then the NHL has more than likely OK'd them. While the nighthawks name and bird logo would separate them from Chicago, I'm not necessarily sure it's enough. Because (something) hawks lends itself to being shortened as 'Hawks and this could cause problems in everyday discussion, among fans, players, broadcasters, commentators, studio anchors, branding issues. Even if there is no trademark, I can see Chicago fighting back on this a bit, they could argue that the name is too confusing when abbreviated. Chicago certainly has the clout where the NHL may hear them out. The NHL doing anything about it though remains to bee seen. I know Army and a couple other teams where not okay with Knights or Black Knights, I would suspect the LA Kings were not thrilled with it either, being as the proposed color scheme would be 2/3 of LA's colors and probably a medieval knight of some sort. I was starting to like Las Vegas Owls or Night Owls. You know what just call 'em the Las Vegas Bulldogs. Sure it may not a name associated with a professional sports team, but it's so common, I don't think there would be much legal pushback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Nighthawks sounds like the sort of generic name a rec league team would come up with when they can't think of anything else. As it happens, I have a local rec league team named the Nighthawks. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowld Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 As much as I dislike Nighthawks it's a hell of a lot better than Desert Hawks. And there is no chance they will be called the Red Hawks when we already have a blackhawks and a red wings in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkychewbarky Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Mr. Foley was pretty definite about there being 4 final names on Tuesday. Where's the 4th name? Did Chris get played? I don't see how any of these names is a win for Foley. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
