ScubaSteve Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I'm trying to think in my head what will sound the most natural when sports commentators say the name out loud. But for all of these, an ESPN highlight will probably be over by the time they're done saying the name (if they show hockey highlights at all at this point).

The_Admiral Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 You could call them the "D.K.s," which could be shortened to "Deeks," which sounds like "dekes," which also sounds like "'diques," who can't play in this league because the Red Wings would have a sad. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 9 hours ago, spartacat_12 said: Logo inspiration?

rams80 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Maybe Foley will run out of money sooner rather than later and the new owner would rebrand into "Knights".

rams80 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 SAND KNIGHTS?! OK, just revoke the team at this point.

BeerGuyJordan Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Once upon a time, I was actually a little excited about the Vegas hockey opportunity. The longer this thread goes on, though, the more I doubt Foley as a capable owner. He seems to have been pretty sound on the business side, but doesn't seem to understand hockey. The name has become such a mess, why NOT take a little time and do a fan competition?

MDGP Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Do they already have a Knight logo designed and don't want to go back to the drawing board? That's the only real explanation I can think of besides some weird unhealthy obsession on the part of Foley. (I'm fully convinced that the "hawks" names were only introduced to gain public favor for the knights names). I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

LMU Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 The only kind of "desert knight" that's pretty much ever existed was something similar to the Ottoman sipahi. Good luck getting that imagery accepted by the fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
