Bad enough that an ice hockey team is playing in a warm weather town but add to it the word Desert and it's just too much. Would rather just be the Knights.

daniel75 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Desert Knights would arguably be the worst name in team sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornadoGTS Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 With his affinity for the military, I'm surprised Desert Storm wasn't thrown out there, which would be even worse than Desert Knights Facebook: CustomSportsCovers Twitter: CSCovers Quote No because when the Irish came to Ireland and first came in contact with the leprechaun people, they didn't take their land away and force them to move west. Instead, the two groups learned to assimilate peacefully. However, certain tribes of the leprechaun refused to taint the pure blood and moved north into the forests of Ireland, only to be seen rarely, usually at the same time of a rainbows appearance and occasionally at the factories of Lucky Charms.

Somehow, I am wondering if Bill is just pulling these combos out of a hat at this point to prove a point that his choice of Black Knights wasn't as bad as people made it out to be.. Now we are going after names that shouldn't be slapped on a 40 and older YMCA team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lahaye7 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 has anyone thought of Flamingos? After the hotel in Vegas? They could be pink and black.

Bayne Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Desert is superfluous and doesn't work for an ice hockey team. Seems kind of gimmicky. Dumb it down, less is more. Honestly, just call them Las Vegas. That would be sick. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 The one thing I've noticed in this thread is no name this team chooses will be liked by anyone. No matter if it's a good name or identity, everyone in this thread will sh•t on it. If these boards were around in 1991, how badly would the Sharks name and identity be ripped apart. "Sharks? That a high school name. A pee-wee team name. What a joke. And teal? Pick a real damn color. Bush league" Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I think the reaction has been reasonably positive for plain ol' Knights. Its just that Foley doesn't like plain ol' Knights.

ColeJ Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Honestly, I'd be fine with Black Knights now, seeing the alternatives. Likely his plan all along. I just wish they'd keep it simple. Less adjectives. More nouns. And four word team names are ridiculous regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Should just be "Vegas Knights." Nobody calls it Las Vegas anyway, it's just vegas. Keeps it shorter and easier to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
